Guarding Your Health: Insurance Against Vector Borne Diseases

Spread the love

What is a vector borne disease?

Vector Borne diseases, such as Malaria, Chikungunya, and Dengue, are illnesses transmitted by insects or animals like mosquitos. As the occurrences of these diseases rise, insurance companies have introduced insurance policies to provide financial protection against such health challenges. These policies offer a safety net, ensuring financial stability for individuals and their families during times of illness. This type of coverage shares similarities with the Corona Rakshak Plan that emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic

Common Symptoms of Vector Borne Diseases

The number of diagnoses of vector diseases generally increases after the monsoon season, with symptoms such as headache, nausea, fever, rash on the skin, joint pain, muscle cramps, difficulty in breathing, fast heart rate, chest pain, and swelling of the face, lips, and tongue.
