CANCER COVER
Cancer kills more people every year than AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria combined.
According to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA), one out of every four South Africans will be challenged with the diagnoses of Cancer of him or herself, or of a family member or a friend.
With the diagnosis of Cancer comes fear and trauma, but also the immense challenge to fight the disease, both mentally and physically. The patient needs to focus on all the positive aspects of the recuperating process.

Cancer Cover is underwritten by GENRIC Insurance Company Limited (FSP: 43638).
