Female dread disease FAQs

Female dread disease cover is critical illness insurance for women. It pays out a percentage of the sum assured if you are diagnosed with female-specific cancers or other illnesses as specified in your policy terms and conditions. The pay-out can be used for medical or living expenses, so you don’t have to worry about your finances while you are in treatment and recovery. Learn more about 1Life All Woman.

Your 1Life female dread disease cover policy covers female-specific cancers including breast cancer, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer, as well as other conditions such as systemic lupus and certain pregnancy-related complications. Your policy schedule has a complete list of what you are covered for. Certain pre-existing conditions may be excluded from the policy.

Your monthly premium is based on your specific risk profile. This means that factors like your age, lifestyle, occupation and your current health conditions and history of illness will all be considered when your monthly premium is calculated.
