Star Health Insurance's Special Care Gold' policy for disability..!

Star Health and Allied Insurance Co Ltd had launched an insurance policy in Braille. The 'Special Care Gold' policy, available in standard print and Braille formats, offers comprehensive health coverage to individuals with 40% or more disability. The visually impaired population is estimated at 34 million in India.

The Braille version, produced in collaboration with the National Association of the Blind (NAB), allows visually impaired customers to independently review and understand their policy terms. Alongside the policy launch, Star Health announced a diversity drive to train and employ visually impaired individuals as health insurance agents.

This policy transcends traditional insurance, embodying Star Health and Allied Insurance Co Ltd commitment to ensuring that individuals with disabilities receive the comprehensive support and coverage they need. It aims to build a more inclusive insurance sector — and specifically the 34 million individuals in India that are visually impaired.

Aligned with IRDAI's 'Insurance for All' vision, the company are dedicated to ensuring democratisation of not just quality health insurance but also extend to enabling financial inclusivity by creating sustainable income generation opportunities for this unserved and marginalised section of society

Special Care Gold is not just an insurance policy in Braille, it is also a message of empowerment and equal opportunity. It acknowledges that people with special abilities have the same right to health protection as anyone else, and that's a significant stride towards true inclusivity in our society.
