IRDAI Chairman urges health insurance providers to develop disease-specific products

Speaking at a health insurance summit organised by CII in Mumbai, Khuntia said under such focussed products, insurance companies can bring together medical experts to make aware policy holders on steps to be taken to prevent various diseases.

The IRDAI chairman said the insurance sector, for too long, has concentrated on tertiary care or hospitalisation and now there was a need to focus more on primary and secondary care, the outpatient care and more on to have preventive care.
