Healthy body Healthy finances Healthy mind

There's nothing more important in life than a healthy body and mind. Good health is the foundation of happiness. So, staying healthy is the first priority for all of us.
Some people say illness and accidents are unpredictable. But if we can plan ahead, pay close attention to our physical and mental health, and make sure we have comprehensive health protection, we can minimise our future health risks.

Recent years have seen early onset of coronary heart disease at younger ages. It is not unusual for a person to develop this disease in his 40s.¹
40% of cancer patients are under 60 years old. ²

70% of Hong Kong people do not know what the 3 most common cancers are. ³
About 40% of cancers can be prevented through adoption of healthy lifestyle including having a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity. ³

The average mental health score of Hongkongers continues to fall short of the passing mark for five consecutive years. ⁴

Always take care of your health for maximum protection

Prevention: Even if you are busy at work, you should exercise regularly and moderately. Adopt a balanced diet and get enough rest to help maintain your physical and mental health.
Prediction: Pay attention to your physical condition, get regular health checks and assess your health risks, so you can detect and address potential issues early.
Diagnosis: When a health issue emerges, seek professional advice immediately, with follow-up examinations to fully understand your situation and commence appropriate treatment as soon as possible.
Treatment: Comprehensive medical and critical illness protection can ensure you have financial support even for serious illnesses, and that you receive appropriate treatment as soon as possible.
Rehabilitation: During long recoveries, various recovery plans and follow-up treatments have proven to be essential. Embark confidently on your recovery journey with a plan that covers additional care services.
