    Health insurance policies which cover Cancer

    Cancer is one the critical illnesses that needs special attention and health care in India. As per the National Cancer registry data there will be about 800,000 new cancer cases in India every year. At any point of time there is likely to be 3 times this load that is about 240,000 cases. Cancer sites associated with tobacco form 35 to 50% of all cancers in men and about 17% cancers in women. Dietary practices, reproductive and sexual practices etc. will account for 20-30% of the cancer cases in India. Cancer can be caused due to many reasons and the myth that cancer results from tobacco only should be re-examined. There are many instances where a completely healthy person without any tobacco consumption, drugs consumption and other narcotic substances consumption developed cancer.

    Keeping in view these figures it is important to understand the necessity of having a cancer protection insurance plan. The cancer protection plan can be taken as a part of life insurance policy or a health insurance policy. In case of health insurance policies, the premium should be paid on an yearly basis whereas in case of life insurance plans the premium can be paid one time or yearly or in other payment formats.
