Expenses associated with critical illness treatment are only increasing in the country. Medical or health insurance is essential to cope with these expenses, however, they may not be enough to manage the financial burden that comes along with a critical illness, especially if the illness strikes the breadwinner of the family.
With the onset of any such illness, most of the Indian population generally dips into accumulated savings for various life goals or other investments to meet their expenses arising due to illness. You or your family members may even need to take loans. This is why you need a provision for financial protection and support in case of medical emergencies.
The good news is that you can protect your and your family’s life goals from getting derailed due to unanticipated health emergencies with critical illness health insurance plans.
