Once you're here: Buying Insurance in Singapore Buying Insurance in SingaporeSome Common Plans:Life PoliciesThese typically cover you for major illnesses, death and permanent disability. Most also cover your medical bills if you are stricken by illness or hospitalised, taking the financial burden off your family or loved ones. Usually, major illnesses covered include cancer, heart attack, coma and others. You will also be covered if you are seriously disabled and unable to continue working.
