MAA Takaful Bhd, the latest entrant into the takaful market, has launched what is believed to be the industry’s first standalone comprehensive cancer plan that covers all forms of cancer.
Called MAA Takaful CancerCare, the scheme offers benefits at both early and advanced stages of cancer.
Chief executive officer Salim Majid Zain said: “The plan is the first of its kind in the takaful industry. Apart from that, it is unique in that it pays out the benefits at the first stage of cancer for 10 gender-specific cancers to assist the policyholder in seeking the necessary treatment. These gender-specific cancers are common cancers.
“This day and age, no one can say for sure that cancer can be avoided. But with medical advances, it is possible to diagnose most forms of cancer early. That is why our focus is to ensure the survival of our policyholders.”

The Malaysian Islamic Consumers Association (PPIM) today called on the government to expedite implementation of the proposed National Health Insurance scheme to cope with the rising health care cost.
Its secretary-general, Datuk Dr Maamor Osman, said there had been no new development on the proposal which was initiated in 2001.
He said in view of the current economic situation following the oil price hike and rising inflation, it would be better that an insurance scheme be introduced to take care of the people’s needs, like health, education, death benefits, etc.
In 2005, the then Health Minister, Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek, had said that the national health insurance scheme would take two years to implement and that its implementation would be carried out in stages.
