We live in a challenging time, health- and wellness-wise. The year 2020 has shown us that health is the most important facet of our lives.

To protect your phone from bumps and damages, you use a screen-guard. But when it rains, the screen-guard alone cannot help you protect your phone. You need a plastic baggie to keep the phone dry and safe from water. In the same way, a health insurance plan is the screen-guard and the additional plastic baggie used when it rains is the health insurance top-up plan.

National Doctors Day is around the corner, to be celebrated on July 1. Wishing to acknowledge doctors’ efforts in India’s journey towards becoming a superpower, we have listed, as healthcare recipients, the least that we can do for our doctors as responsible citizens.
