Critical Illness Insurance pays a lump sum on initial diagnosis of a serious medical problem.You are permitted to keep the money even if you make a full recovery. It can be incorporated into another life insurance policy on a level term or whole of life basis, or as a stand alone policy. Once you have made a critical illness claim it is unlikely that you will be able to get further cover elsewhere in the future.

Anyone who wishes to be protected against financial concerns resulting from a critical illness:
- Persons who would like to obtain specific medical treatments;
- Parents who would have to temporarily leave their jobs to devote themselves to the recovery of their child;
- Persons who would like to have home nursing care or to go on a trip to assist in their recovery;
- Business owners or self-employed workers who would have to compensate for the loss of productivity or clients after an illness.
