Health Protection
A serious illness or hospitalisation can quietly undo years of saving. Health protection — whether as standalone health cover or as critical-illness benefits attached to a life plan — provides a financial cushion, often as a lump sum on diagnosis or support toward treatment costs, so you can focus on recovery rather than bills.

- Anyone wanting a buffer against large medical bills

Health Protection — your questions, answered
Employer cover is valuable but ends when the job does and may be modest for a major illness. A personal critical-illness or health benefit you own travels with you and tops up the protection.
