At a launch event attended by Sanlam Brokers and financial advisers, cancer survivor André Fourie, a beneficiary of the previous Dread Disease Benefit shared his powerful testimony. Fourie's personal experience with Melanoma, a high-risk form of cancer, highlighted the emotional, physical, and financial challenges individuals face when diagnosed with severe illnesses. Fortunately, Fourie's dread disease cover from Sanlam not only covered his expenses but paid out 100%, offering him the financial support he needed during his recovery. “I would like to thank Sanlam for the wonderful health insurance package, as well as the medical doctors, staff, friend and family for being there for me during the difficult journey”. He added, “I am very excited about the dread disease policy because it took off the financial burden, and I am delighted to have been a part of it”. Fourie aptly summarised the importance of dread disease cover by stating, "Disability has the financial impact of taking away your income and future revenues. But Dread Disease is even worse as it has the ability to take away not only your income and future revenues, but also your savings."

“We recognise that a serious illness can be a difficult and stressful time for individuals and their families, therefore the undeniable need for Comprehensive and Comprehensive Plus Dread Disease cover,” said Wendy Naruses, Marketing and Communications Manager: Distribution. “Our Comprehensive and Comprehensive Plus Dread Disease cover, is designed to provide financial support and peace of mind during the most challenging times. We are committed to helping our clients focus on their health and recovery while we take care of the financial burden.” The enhanced cover demonstrates Sanlam's responsiveness to evolving client needs, offering flexibility in coverage options, comprehensive benefits, and additional income support.
