Critical Illnesses like cancer used to be just advance stage coverage, and by the time it was found out and diagnosed, the survival rate would have dropped. In Singapore, 1 out of 10 stroke patients are below the age of 50.
Since 2010 to 2015, cancer has spiked increasingly by an astounding 17% and everyday 36 people are diagnosed with cancer in Singapore. Cancer is now the top critical illness in Singapore . And this was all done “despite certain cancers being preventable if people choose healthier lifestyles and drop bad habits.” (source: Straits Times)
With the advancement of technology coupled more savviness as well as awareness, more people are going for regular health checks (you should!) to detect early any illnesses that may arise and treat it. However, despite this information, many have not even heard of early stage critical illness protection.
