Here is why it is beneficial for every Singaporean to purchase dengue insurance!

 



Dengue is an endemic infectious disease that has been present in Singapore for over a decade and the region has experienced a sudden increase in the number of cases in recent years. According to Statista, there were 36,315 cases reported for dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever in 2020, which is a steep increase from 15,998 since 2019.

A person suffering from the disease needs to be admitted to the hospital and incur medical expenses. While a health insurance plan will cover most of the expenses incurred for the hospital stay, a dengue insurance cover can provide additional assurance.

Key features of a dengue insurance cover: 

●       Affordable coverage

Many insurance companies offer dengue insurance cover in a form of microinsurance plan that covers you against dengue fever for 3 months. Due to the low tenure of the insurance policy the premium that you will have to pay for it is very affordable.

●       In-app sign up

Many insurance companies are now launching their own mobile apps which allow their customers to manage their existing insurance policies and even purchase new policies. Most of the time such dengue insurance cover plans can be easily signed up through the app with just a few clicks! This provides so much convenience - you can sign up for a policy without stepping out of your house!
