About the UN Health and Life Insurance Section (HLIS)
The UN offers a comprehensive health insurance scheme under its headquarters’ health & life insurance programme that provides eligible staff members, retirees and their eligible dependants with medical and dental insurance coverage. Staff members and retirees are also provided life insurance coverage under the insurance scheme. The UN Health and Life Insurance Section (HLIS) is responsible for the provision of health and life insurance to all eligible locally and internationally recruited UN staff, retirees and their dependants. This responsibility is not limited to the UN Secretariat only. Staff from most agencies, funds and programmes are eligible to enroll in one of the plans managed by the HLIS. That is how our health insurance plans protect more than 160,000 individuals today.
Our commitment to you
The three core functions of the Health and Life Insurance Section include:
