Are you prepared to beat cancer when it strikes?

Most people say planning is winning half the battle, but how does that apply to our health? When it comes to keeping healthy, most people eat healthily and exercise as much as possible.

While these are commendable, can we do more to prepare ourselves for any unexpected health episodes? Of course, we can.

While most people today mitigate for these unforeseen circumstances by protecting themselves with insurance, many still do not do enough, especially when it comes to critical illnesses like cancer, the number one killer in Singapore.

Considering the high risk surrounding cancer, having comprehensive cover can be very beneficial. The next question people may ask is, just how much cover is enough? See our simple infographic below to have a good idea:
