FWD Life Philippines plans to address the issue of critical illness, which continues to be the biggest cause of early death and disability in the Philippines.
FWD’s latest plan, “Set for Health,” provides the most comprehensive coverage in the market against 42 major and 15 minor critical illnesses, with protection for up to three unrelated major critical illnesses, to the age of 75.
“Set for Health is a plan that provides financial peace of mind to Filipinos so that the threat of critical illness does not hinder them from pursuing their passions and living life worry-free,” said FWD Life president and chief executive officer Peter Grimes.
“With this innovative product, FWD Life Philippines is offering Filipinos and their families health benefits with the most comprehensive flexible coverage in the market and a ‘no claim” reward’,” he said.
Though medical advancement provides greater hope for recovery, and survival rates continue to improve, today’s lifestyles may be at risk with more varied health problems as people live longer.
While most critical illness products offer claims against only one illness, FWD’s Set for Health plan protects customers against up to three unrelated major critical illnesses and covers customers up to the age of 75.
“Compared to when critical illness products were launched some 30 years ago, survival rates have significantly improved with medical advances. But to really ensure you give yourself the best possible chance of survival and recovery, you need to have the funds available to make sure you can get the right treatment at the right time,” Grimes added.
