Cancer Insurance – First In Laos !

Cancer – one of the most deadly diseases in the world today. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most expensive to treat and one that you are least prepared for. It can strike anyone at any time.

In Thailand alone every year more than 120,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed, with approximately 60,000 lives lost. The minimum cost of treatment for cancer is around 200,000 THB per person, which is a high number that not everyone is prepared for.

To counter these costs, you need a plan that can give you what other traditional health plans may not provide – a lump sum payout on detection plus cover of the treatment expenses.

J&C Insurance is proud to announce the launch of a unique product for the first time in Laos: APA Cancer Insurance! It is the perfect solution to secure your loved ones and yourself against cancer.
