The firm said the launch of the product follows a study that revealed a rising worry among Kenyans of the heavy financial burden that befalls them when terminal ailments such as cancer, heart attacks, stroke and major organ failure strike.
In case of such an ailment being diagnosed during the term of the cover, beneficiaries will receive 30 percent of the lumpsum lessening the financial burden brought about by such illness.
