According to recent reports, almost 80% of all critical illness claims are for cancer (Sanlam, 2021) . Furthermore, in a recent survey conducted in South Africa with women ages 20-35, 89% of women said that their biggest health-related fear was a cancer diagnosis.
“Take it from me – I’m unable to get any more critical illness or cancer cover as I have already had a cancer mass removed [at age 27]. Cancer is hitting us younger and it’s so important for women [and men] to get checked regularly, and GET INSURED, before it’s too late.”
says Grace Robinson, one of our consultants here at BFC.
Despite all this, there is much hope if you are faced with a cancer diagnosis. It’s no longer a death sentence, and if diagnosed early, can be treated fairly quickly.
However, these treatments can often be a small fortune and many families end up in debt due to the ongoing costs associated with one of their family members fighting the Big C.
We have found that whilst full Dread Disease benefits are great to have, we would encourage clients to top-up their insurance with Cancer-specific cover that meets the monetary, practical, and emotional needs around cancer.
