Health insurance safeguards you and your loved ones against the financial loss you could suffer in the event of an accident, illness or disability.
It makes up for your income loss, or covers the cost of your medical treatment.

Regular contributions to Medisave are deducted from one's salary. Portions of the hospital expenses not covered by MediShield can be paid by MediSave up to a certain limit.
