75% of women believe that existing health insurance policies fall short of addressing women-specific needs, says an exclusive survey by Future Generali India focusing on gauging the pulse of Indian women when it comes to buying health insurance
Mumbai:
Future Generali India Insurance Company launched a comprehensive women-health insurance plan.
The company also unveiled the findings of #PowHer Survey – an exclusive survey focusing on gauging the pulse of Indian women when it comes to buying health insurance.
The survey was conducted by Unomer among 600 women health insurance owners and intenders across India, with 80% aged between 21-35 years.
For a country like India, where women comprise roughly half of the nation’s population, at around 49 per cent, less than one-third, or only about 30%, of them aged 15-49, were covered under health insurance between 2019-2021, as per data fetched from the National Family Health Survey India report.
Some of the findings of the survey are-
-74% of Indian women don’t get involved in decision-making when it comes to health insurance,
-75% of women believe that existing health insurance policies fall short of addressing women-specific needs,
-94% of the respondents agree that having a comprehensive health insurance plan for women would increase participation in the purchase process
