Thinking of the perfect gift to give the superwoman in your life this Women’s Day? Go beyond the sparkle of diamonds or the sweetness of chocolates and give her a comprehensive health insurance policy instead. Take the first step in protecting the health of your mother, wife or sister- all those women who make your life beautiful and better, every single day.

From a doting mother to an accomplished professional to a dutiful daughter, women ace multiple roles in their lives with ease. But amidst all this, they often forget to take care of themselves. Furthermore, life is unpredictable, and scientifically, women tend to outlive men on this rollercoaster. According to a recent report by the Indian Council of Medical Research, there were over 3.4 lakh cases of cervical cancer in the country, making it the highest in Asia. Breast cancer came a second close, plaguing over 26% of Indian women.

Not to forget, maternity and pregnancy are also crucial phases that every woman undergoes in their lifetime. So that they don’t end up under a financial burden while experiencing all this, it is essential for them to have a solid health insurance plan. Ideally, one which offers coverage against accidental miscarriages, childbirth expenses, cancer of breasts, ovaries and cervix and more.

According to NFHS-5, merely 30% of women aged 15–49 in India are covered by health insurance or a health scheme. In fact, only 8.6% of all Indian women aged between have purchased health insurance from private insurers.

So, it’s time to go a step above and beyond for the women in your lives, and ensure their precious lives against all vagaries of life!
