Discovery has claimed two top accolades at this year’s Qorus Innovation in Insurance Awards, at a ceremony in Lisbon showcasing the best insurance innovations across the globe.

Discovery took the title in the Global Innovator category, which recognises overall world leaders in insurance innovation, and won the Connected Ecosystems and Marketplaces category, for the new Discovery Health App and Health Ecosystem – a centralised digital hub for all healthcare needs.

The agreement builds on their current working partnership and cements the intent to coordinate views on key products and issues impacting respective insurance markets and share information on issues of common interest.

Zurich has partnered with Further to offer investigation and treatment service for cancer, heart, and neurological conditions, including cover for treatment abroad at leading hospitals.

Accelerate can be added to any new Zurich Life, Critical Illness or Income Protection Policy at the point of sale or at any point during the life of the policy and can be cancelled at any time, allowing advisers to meet the ongoing and changing needs of their customers.
