We are proud to offer our subscribers this timely Critical Illness plan to tide over any health crisis they may face without worrying about hospitalization and treatment costs, trusting in our caring protection.”

Commenting further, Mr. Jude Fernando, Director / Chief Executive Officer of Janashakthi Insurance PLC said, “We are pleased to collaborate with Mobitel to launch this new cover for Mobitel subscribers, which is the first time a Critical Illness cover has been offered in partnership with a telecommunications provider. At Janashakthi Life, we believe in creating innovative and accessible Insurance solutions which are designed to provide our customers with the protection and the convenience they need in today’s world. With the rise of non-communicable diseases in the country, we want to enable customers to safeguard themselves against this growing risk by offering them protection against any of the numerous critical illnesses that are covered through this policy. This initiative also allows us to pass on the benefit of protection to a wide cross-section of customers across the island.”
