Every aspect of your life is dependent on your good health.In today’s time and age, health issues have increased, thereby imposing extra financial burden on the family. It therefore becomes imperative to have a health insurance plan in place, to ensure that no matter how critical your illness, it does not impair your financial security.Having said that, health insurance penetration has been low in India. Many customers have a mediclaim policy which does not cover most of the critical illnesses leaving many families financially drained at the end of the hospitalization. Being mindful of this, we have developed Easy Health product which will provide a lump sum amount if you are hospitalized or undergo any Surgical Procedure or are diagnosed with Critical Illness. We would encourage everyone to secure your health financially.”
