Health Insurance in COVID times and beyond

In the world of growing medical inflation, and the rising infectious diseases like Coronavirus (COVID-19), having robust health insurance coverage has become a necessity more than ever for every individual and family to protect against the unforeseen medical expenses. Today, we can eat well and exercise, but there is always an element of chance of an unexpected injury, illness or infectious disease. Thus, it is important for all to gain a greater sense of control over their physical and financial health. Several studies reveal that in India personal saving is the source of health care financing, with over 62% of healthcare expenditure being out of pocket. Also, due to rising medical costs around 5% of the population are forced below the poverty line every year according to PWC Analysis.
