Cancer is known to be one of the leading cause of mortality, globally. According to data from the National Institute of Cancer Protection and Research (NICPR), 2.25 million people in India are currently living with cancer and each year, about 1.15 million new cases get added to the list. Moreover, the cost of cancer treatment is steep, and is unaffordable for a vast section of people.
While you can make lifestyle changes to avoid things or habits that are known to lead to cancer, you can never be sure if you are doing enough. What you can do, however, is protect your family and yourself financially by taking insurance.
