CRITICAL ILLNESS

Did you know that half of all people born after 1960 will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime?

Unfortunately, the diagnosis of a critical illness is normally a life changing event both emotionally and financially. A critical illness will almost certainly result in time away from work, and is likely to have a large impact on your ability to maintain your family’s quality of life or keep up with financial commitments.

As all providers are slightly different, it’s a good idea to cover the illnesses that are important to you. These might be illnesses which are prevalent in your family’s medical history or illnesses you are particularly worried about.

All critical illness policies cover certain types of cancer, heart attacks and strokes. Most insurers will cover around 40 additional illnesses, so there is a suitable critical illness insurance policy for you.
