COVID-19 IMPACT

Waiver on Cover During the Pandemic to Hinder Market Expansion

The COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted the flaws and limitations in the healthcare systems of Asian countries and the importance of universal health coverage (UHC). Since it has increased awareness of the value of health cover and the need for digitization in this area to streamline the cover process, the COVID-19 epidemic is projected to have a positive long-term effect on the market. Additionally, in order to concentrate on enhancing their strategies to answer unmet demands, cover companies are adding COVID-19 protection coverage. However, due to temporary premium reductions announced by numerous authorities during the COVID-19 outbreak, market expansion was constrained. For instance, a waiver on health cover premium payment for vehicle and health plan renewals owing to the COVID-19 epidemic. The insurance market growth was limited by the lowering of premiums during the outbreak.
