What is the Need for 50 Lakh Health Insurance?
Here is why you need a 50 lakh health insurance plan:
Choosing the right health insurance isn’t about picking the biggest number, it’s about ensuring you’re prepared for real-world costs. Ask yourself:
* What’s your age and health condition?
* Do you have a family to cover?
* What kind of hospitals do you prefer for treatment?
All these factors influence how much coverage you truly need. With medical costs skyrocketing, even a single major surgery can drain your savings. A ₹50 lakh cover gives you the confidence to handle critical illnesses, advanced treatments, and multiple hospitalizations without financial stress. And if budget is a concern, start with a base plan and add a top-up later for extra protection.
