Allianz Partners Supports Paris 2024 with Medical Assistance and Repatriation Services

The 155,000 athletes, volunteers, and members of the Olympic and Paralympic Family will benefit from Allianz Partners' medical assistance and repatriation services during the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

Allianz Partners has been appointed by the Paris 2024 Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games to provide medical assistance and repatriation during the event.

"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 is ready to deliver the best possible assistance to this exceptional group," stated Francois-Xavier Duchateau, Group Chief Medical Officer at Allianz Partners.

As a long-standing assistance provider, teamwork and helping others are part of Allianz Partners' DNA. It is therefore completely fitting that the company should be working alongside the Paris 2024 organisers to support the smooth running of the many events taking place during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

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 in France 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 hospitalization, cover medical expenses, and arrange transportation home or organize repatriation, if necessary, once their condition is stabilized.
