Unfortunately, even those who live very healthy lifestyles can be struck down by sudden and unexpected illness. Do not believe the old adage that “it can’t happen to me”. In the next 12 months it is estimated in Australia: - 30,000 people will suffer a heart attack
- 55,500 people will develop malignant cancer
- 25,000 will suffer a stroke
- 11,000 people will undergo a by-pass operation
Medical science is constantly seeking new treatments for cancer, cardiovascular disease and other serious illnesses. Many people recover and live normal lives after these traumas, but the expense of treatment and loss of income during such debilitating illness can be distressing. Trauma/Recovery insurance provides a lump sum payment to help meet the everyday and extraordinary expenses that follow a range of serious illnesses.
