How Can We Help?

Critical illness cover is an insurance policy that provides a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with a specified serious illness or medical condition. This type of insurance typically covers illnesses such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, and other life-threatening conditions. The pay-out is designed to help you manage the financial impact of a critical illness, covering expenses like medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and necessary lifestyle adjustments.

Why is Critical Illness Cover Needed?

  1. Medical Expenses: It helps cover the high costs of medical treatment, surgeries, and therapies that may not be fully covered by health insurance.
