Allianz Partners Selected to Support Paris 2024 Olympics
Allianz is the Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Insurance Partner, having begun its eight-year partnership with the Olympic and Paralympic Movements in 2021. This partnership extends through the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, Milano-Cortina 2026, and LA 2028. Allianz provides insurance solutions and services to support the Olympic Movement, including organising committees, national Olympic committees, and athletes worldwide.
With a rich history of providing assistance, Allianz Partners' core values include teamwork and helping others. Their collaboration with Paris 2024 organisers is ideal for ensuring the smooth execution of Olympic and Paralympic events.
Given the scale of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a potential influx of additional patients could challenge the French hospital system; in this context, Allianz Partners’ medical assistance teams will work closely with all public services and the Organising Committee to ensure the best possible patient care. Medical assistance requests will initially be managed by the Paris 2024 medical unit. After this initial assessment, Allianz Partners’ teams will step in to support patients throughout their hospital journey. They will monitor their hospitalisation, cover medical expenses, and arrange transportation home or organise repatriation, if necessary, once their condition is stabilised.
"Allianz Partners is very proud to have been selected to provide medical assistance and repatriation cover for the Olympic family, including athletes, officials, and volunteers. As a company committed to promoting sport and its values, we know the importance of providing the Olympic participants with medical cover to match their sporting ambitions, helping protect their health while providing peace of mind.
"Our entire team of assistance agents, nurses, and doctors are ready to deliver the best possible assistance to this exceptional group," says Francois-Xavier Duchateau, Group Chief Medical Officer at Allianz Partners.
