Health insurance: Breast cancer claims have doubled, says SBI General Insurance
The number of claims for breast cancer made by women in the age group of 35-45 years has doubled between FY 2015-16 and FY 2017-18, said a study by SBI General Insurance. The study was conducted to spread awareness on the importance of health insurance on the occasion of ‘International Day of Action for Women’s Health’ which is observed globally on May 28.
The increase in claims made by this age group for breast cancer indicates that women need to start taking care of their health from a younger age with the help of necessary precautions. Image source: Pixabay
