The key attraction is dedicated cover for a defined list of 32 critical illnesses alongside eligible medical expenses. The official site advertises no-claim bonus and global coverage options. Eligibility, admissible expenses and waiting periods must be assessed against the current policy wording. The advertised starting price is illustrative rather than a guaranteed premium for every age, location or sum insured.
