A moving customer story from deep blue sea
Karain and Susan Eketone's 25th Wedding Anniversary holiday started off as they had hoped until disaster struck. In a single moment, the couple’s relaxing vacation quickly turned into a nightmare when Karain was severely injured while diving.
Despite the gravity of the situation, the immediate support given by local emergency services and Allianz colleagues, Karain's life was saved.
The couple’s comprehensive travel insurance, provided via Allianz Partners, helped them when they needed it most. Not just from a HELIVAC and MEDEVAC evacuation perspective, but as a well-oiled machine, taking control, joining the dots, saving a life, and making the near impossible happen.
A moving customer story that, thankfully, has a happy ending.
Watch Karain and Susan's story below.
