Purchasing insurance for your child while they are young and healthy ensures they receive comprehensive coverage without exclusions or additional premiums due to health issues.
Premiums for newborns and young children are generally more affordable compared to those for adults. The most important insurance to consider is an Integrated Shield Plan (IP) on top of MediShield Life. Although IP premiums may increase over time, the plan can be downgraded with the same insurer later without requiring additional medical underwriting.
