What are 15 Critical illness benefits?

Critical illnesses are life-threatening diseases that require long-term medications to be cured or kept under control. These can likely give rise to the need for mechanical support to the vital organs for their proper functioning.

In India, a significant part of the population suffers from critical illnesses due to their poor food habits and lifestyle, as per the surveys conducted by Health and Family Welfare statistics reports.
