Even if you have always lived by the” be prepared” motto, there are certain things we may not think to plan for, and one such thing is a stroke.

Stroke is an illness that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut short. There are two types of strokes: an Ischaemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) and a Hemorrhagic stroke (when a blood vessel bursts). The most severe type of stroke covered by specific stroke insurance is the Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA).

Losing the use of your facial muscles, arms, or speech faculties is a scary experience. Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in about 80% of people who survive a stroke. A stroke can put a hole in the family’s finances, especially when there is no adequate planning. The amount that goes into diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation is astronomical. But with proper planning, you can soften the blow to your finances by purchasing a stroke insurance policy.

This is a subsidiary under health insurance, a type of supplementary health insurance with cash benefits that protects you from the unexpected expenses of a stroke.
