Sun Life Boosts Line Of Health Solutions

Life events that worry Filipinos mainly revolve around health. According to a survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations commissioned by Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc., 93% of Filipinos worry about suffering a grave illness. This also reflects in their financial anxiety, with 88% saying they are worried about their family’s financial situation should they pass away.

Ironically, many also admit to be financially unprepared should an illness strike. The top sources of funds to finance treatment would be their businesses (34%) and financial support from their children (32%), both of which are often utilized for daily expenses as well.

To aid Filipinos in addressing the financial burden that may be caused by the treatment of a critical illness, Sun Life created innovative health solutions that will cater to their different needs: SUN Healthier Life and SUN Fit and Well.

SUN Healthier Life is the first Critical Illness (CI) life insurance product that covers five of the top critical illnesses in the Philippines. With its hassle-free application process, clients no longer need to undergo a medical examination, provided he is able to answer the health questions favorably. Moreover, SUN Healthier Life offers coverage for minor (early stage) CI and Angioplasty to help clients secure the medical treatment they need and focus more on their recovery.

Meanwhile, SUN Fit and Well, a new generation wellness product that covers more than 100 CIs, offers the most comprehensive life and health protection, from prevention to rehabilitation. It was designed to help a client care for his health through wellness programs, and also have access to the best care should an illness strike. The product’s “life stage protection” feature will also enable one to address his evolving health protection needs from childhood all the way to the golden years.

With SUN Healthier Life and SUN Fit and Well, Sun Life aims to help Filipinos address both their health and wealth needs. After all, these two go hand-in-hand, as health concerns could potentially affect one’s financial objectives. Sun Life’s innovative health solutions will give Filipinos the confidence to pursue his journey for a brighter future by being ready to face even the unexpected.
