MacOS Catalina “upgrade”
Please note that the newest MacOS version – Catalina – has been released and we are currently testing its stability. At this time we do not recommend this upgrade as there are still many bugs in it. If you choose to upgrade, you do so at your own risk. If you have upgraded already and need to downgrade to MacOS Mojave, please make time to stop by the IT office for support.

Annual Health Check-up Packages( details attached )
NIS Raffles Medical Shanghai Rmb3,500 Health Screening Package
NIS Global Doctor Health Screening Packages
Bangkok Hospital Health Check-up Packages
Sino United Rmb3,000 Health Screening Package
Samitivej Hospital Health Check-up Packages
Dear Overseas staff,
I am pleased to be sending you details of some wellness / annual health check-up packages that One World Cover has negotiated in your area. Please note that the wellness limit on your group medical insurance plan is Rmb3,500 and each of the attached packages are around this limit. We would encourage each of your members to have a comprehensive health check-up once per policy year. A comprehensive health check-up can help find problems before they start or find problems early, when the chances for treatment and cure are better. Getting the right health services, screenings, and treatments, is a key part of taking steps that help improve the chances for living a longer, healthier life.
In order for your member to access any of these packages, they should simply call the clinic and request a copy of this specific package. We would suggest they bring a copy of the PDF (hard or soft copy) with them when they visit the clinic. If they having any problems please ask them to email help@oneworldcover.com – we are happy to help.
We have also included details of some packages in Bangkok, Thailand, which is a popular medical tourism destination for expats living in Asia. Please note that these are standard packages at two of Bangkok’s leading private hospitals. If any of your members are interested in booking one of these packages please email help@oneworldcover.com for further details.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to get in touch with us in case you have any questions.
With thanks and best wishes,
