Stroke, coronary artery bypass, major organ transplant, cancer and Parkinson's Disease will be covered. The minimum amount of premium to be paid is Rs 3,500 per annum.

The Health Protector is a 5-year accident and health solution that covers cancer care, accidental death benefit, total permanent disability, accident-related hospitalisation cash and term life cover. Minimum premium is Rs 1200 per annum.
