Dread Disease Cover
Dread disease cover, also known as critical illness insurance, provides a lump-sum payment if the insured is diagnosed with a specified critical illness or medical condition as defined in the policy terms. This benefit is paid once the qualifying criteria have been met and can be used at the insured’s discretion.
Dread disease cover provides financial support when an individual is diagnosed with a serious illness. The benefit helps ensure that the insured can maintain an income and meet financial obligations such as unpaid medical bills, debt repayments, and other essential expenses during treatment and recovery.
