GREAT Cancer Guard
Cancer Guard | Cancer Insurance for All Stages
100% cash payout for any stage of cancer
Today, more people than ever are living through and recovering from cancer with the right care and support. Even so, practical concerns can add up during treatment, such as time away from work, ongoing bills and out-of-pocket expenses. If you have both young and elderly family members depending on you, the need for additional financial support becomes even more important.
Cancer Guard is a regular premium term plan which offers a 100% cash payout upon diagnosis of cancer, regardless of stage. The lump sum is yours to use during recovery, whether to replace lost income, cover cancer-related drugs not fully paid for under other medical plans, arrange additional care at home, or seek specialised treatment overseas.
This gives you the financial flexibility to protect your savings and the lifestyle you have worked hard to build, so you can focus on getting better while maintaining stability for your family.
