AIA Vitality celebrates 10 years: live healthy and secure great rewards!

In Thailand, health care is playing an increasingly central role. A good example of this is the new “AIA Vitality” program, recently introduced by AIA Thailand to actively promote the health of its members. On the occasion of AIA Vitality's 10th anniversary in Thailand, the company celebrated this valuable initiative, which now has over 900,000 members. With the introduction of the “Vitality Bonus”, participants benefit from up to 20% refund on the standard premium per year, starting from the first year without accumulating points. This opens up many opportunities to increase health awareness and at the same time relieve financial strain, as mgronline.com reports.

The program aims to motivate members toward better health through science-based approaches. By engaging in activities that encourage healthier lifestyles, members can earn points while benefiting from monthly rewards such as movie tickets, streaming services and healthy food. AIA Vitality is not just insurance, but a true lifestyle partner focused on the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The importance of this initiative becomes particularly clear when you consider that members who have been involved for two years are showing significant improvements in their health metrics such as BMI, blood pressure and blood sugar.

Promoting health through rewards

The creative structure of the AIA Vitality program is impressive. Members have the opportunity to collect points to improve their status, which also brings with it many benefits. Points are earned by making health-conscious decisions, such as exercising or getting regular health exams. AIA Vitality offers four status levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, with each status coming with different rewards. Monthly status rewards are also offered for members who have achieved at least 10,000 points, providing additional motivation.

Another pleasing aspect is the recently launched advertising campaign with AIA Vitality ambassador “Mark Prin”, which is being distributed across various media channels. This is a smart move to increase the program's visibility and get more people working on their health.

Challenges and health problems in Thailand

Life in Thailand is not only characterized by positive aspects, but is also accompanied by health challenges. For expats in particular, there are specific health issues to be aware of. According to thailandtip.info, respiratory problems due to air pollution, food-borne illnesses and dengue fever are some of the most common health problems. In these cases, it is crucial to take preventative measures to protect your own health.

Especially during the season from February to April, the air quality is significantly worse in many regions of Thailand, such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma can occur more frequently. In addition, diseases such as E. coli or hepatitis A are not uncommon due to the consumption of improperly prepared food. Bottled water, freshly prepared meals and vaccinations can help minimize the risks.

In addition, an increase in mosquitoes and therefore mosquito-borne diseases is observed during the rainy season (May to October). Preventive measures such as using mosquito repellent and wearing long-sleeved clothing are strongly recommended to avoid dengue and other diseases.

Mental health is another important issue for expats. Moving to Thailand can cause stress and anxiety for many. Here it is helpful to think about appropriate insurance that not only covers inpatient and outpatient treatment, but also offers psychological support.

Programs like AIA Vitality are an important step towards health promotion. The combination of insurance coverage and a health-conscious lifestyle shows how useful it is to proactively address the issue of health while at the same time mastering the challenges of life in Thailand. Any initiative that helps improve wellness is a win for all members, and AIA Vitality is playing a leading role here.
