Care Cancer health insurance - Key highlights

What this plan really does is to offer financial support to the insured at this important phase in their life and ensure they do not have to dip into their life savings for treating cancer.A Times of India article recently illustrated that around 10 Lac new cases of cancer are currently reported every year in India and this is expected to rise to around 15 lacs per year by 2030. While the medical world is still searching for a dependable drug/treatment for cancer, this lifestyle disease is growing at an alarming rate and the least that persons can do is to try and prevent it by leading a more healthier balanced lifestyle. But what if it strikes even when one never reared a bad habit, not even once. Nor did a family member ever suffer from Cancer? When Life Takes An Unexpected Turn, Plan for the Unexpected. And this is where Super Mediclaim’s Cancer Cover plan from Care can be useful since it provides a host of benefits for patients to fight Covered Cancer at all stages.
