Are You Prepared for Critical Illness?

Sickness and disease. These two words concern us a lot because the thought of them keeps us from living and enjoying life - being bedridden or confined in a hospital is no fun at all. But what worries people the most is being diagnosed, and dealing with, critical illness.

What is a critical illness?

Critical illness is a life-threatening condition. If left untreated, a critical illness can impair your ability to live properly and may result in death. Over 40% of the deaths in Myanmar are caused by serious or critical illnesses such as stroke, cancer, heart, lung, and liver disease. However, as medical technology advances day by day, we can now detect life-threatening diseases faster and you have a higher chance of getting a cure.

What does having a critical illness mean for you and your family?

Without question, a critical illness can be a frightening dilemma. It is a source of severe physical and emotional distress and it places a huge burden on the family’s finances. If you think you don’t have the resources to pay for hospital bills and doctor’s fees, you are not alone.
