MetLife customers receive over Tk 2.5 crore in insurance claims for dengue treatment

From January to October this year, MetLife Bangladesh customers have received more than Tk 2 crore 50 lakh in insurance claims for dengue treatment.

According to Saifur Rahman, head of communications at MetLife Bangladesh, more than Tk 2 crore 50 lakh in claim money was paid to customers for dengue treatment during this period.

A person infected with dengue usually has to stay in hospital for several days in a row. Added to that are the costs of various tests and medicines, for which many people have no preparation in advance.

Customers received great financial relief by getting the insurance money from MetLife on time, the company said. As well as meeting hospital costs, the money helped them recover fully. Alongside meeting treatment costs, the money also played a role in the financial protection of the families.

This picture of claim payments highlights the importance of advance financial preparation in facing unexpected situations. At the same time it shows that the benefit of insurance is not limited to financial protection for the family after death; while the customer is alive, it also serves needs including medical treatment.
