Amana Takaful PLC (ATL) is offering Sri Lanka’s first-ever lowest premium health insurance policy that can be obtained with minimum documentation.

“Suwasiri is a simple yet valuable medical policy for all Sri Lankans. It’s the lowest priced for just Rs. 2,222 on a cover that extends to Rs. 100,000 per annum. The old adage ‘health is wealth’ today can be construed to mean ‘you need to be rich to be sick’. Medical costs are soaring and almost impossible for a daily wage earner or even the domestic at home to seek remedy from a private hospital. Suwasiri takes the worry out! Even if you seek treatment from a government hospital as an ‘in-patient’ the policy provides a per day allowance up to 21 days. In addition, medicine and Laboratory and Radiology tests carried out at private institutions while being admitted to the Government hospital will also be reimbursed,” the company said in a media release.

The process to obtain a Suwasiri is simple as it only requires a very basic proposal form and copy of the National Identity Card. This convenience facilitates a short turn-around time for the busy executive, while for a factory worker, three-wheeler driver of the domestic at home it’s a hassle-free way of obtaining a medical policy.
