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.
The Singlife Comprehensive Critical Illness plan is more than just a plain vanilla stand-alone critical illness plan that covers from early to intermediate to advance stage. Read on to find out more!

What We Don’t Like About Singlife Comprehensive Critical Illness
- Low Death Benefit of $5,000

Singlife Comprehensive Critical Illness is suitable for you if you would like:
- High Payout that covers Critical Illness of all stages including Early to intermediate to advance stage.
- Highly Competitive Premiums
- Standalone Critical Illness plans that cover for a specific period of time, increasing the coverage protecting your prime working age when you need it the most.
It would however be less suitable if:
- You are looking for a high death protection cover.
- You are looking for limited pay premium term and coverage for life.
- You are looking for multiple payouts for critical illness of all stages.
- You would like cash value in a protection plan.
- You are looking for a long term whole life insurance.
As with all insurance plans, the suitability of this plan for you will largely depend on your needs and expectations. If your concern is on a stand alone critical illness plan with no frills and competitive premium with a good insurer, this is the plan for you.
