Mumbai, the financial capital of India, is also a city that never sleeps. According to a survey, this city is home to more than two crore people at present. (1).
Naturally, the density of the state’s population can cause a heightened risk of various diseases. For instance, Mumbai is the hardest-hit city in India when it comes to the Covid-19 pandemic.Â
However, even before the Coronavirus, this city had accounted for thousands of deaths every year due to the alarming levels of air pollution, road accidents and other health conditions.
The lack of affordability of healthcare is partly to blame for such high mortality rates. Under such a circumstance, availing health insurance in Mumbai is vital for residents. Â
