MetLife Bangladesh has recently launched a first-of-its-kind Critical Illness Insurance Protection Plan that offers customers financial protection for 52 common critical illnesses, including the leading causes of death in Bangladesh: heart attack, stroke, respiratory diseases, cancer and kidney diseases, says a press release.

This is the only health insurance plan in the country that provides financial protection of up to BDT 1 Crore till the age of 80 years against the highest number of critical illnesses. By paying premiums for a relatively shorter period (maximum 20 years from the date of purchase), customers and their families can receive insurance coverage for medical treatment or unfortunate death of the policyholder from critical illnesses or any other causes until the age of 80 years. If a policyholder reaches at the age of 80 years without making any claim, they will receive up to 100% policy coverage.

The product has been designed to reflect the health needs and financial priorities of the people of Bangladesh.

MetLife Bangladesh’s Critical Illness Insurance Protection Plan will help customers manage medical treatment and recover from the physical, emotional and financial stress of these illnesses.

Considering the current prevalence of dengue fever, the health insurance plan provides additional financial protection against unfortunate death from the disease.
