KUALA LUMPUR: Great Eastern Takaful Bhd recently launched HospeeFamily, an affordable micro Takaful plan curated specially for those who do not have any form of Takaful or insurance coverage.

The three-month protection plan provides hospitalisation benefits due to illness or injury and lump-sum accidental death benefit while travelling in private or public conveyance. The benefit is also extended to up to two additional immediate family members upon hospitalisation and death due to an accident.

HospeeFamily is now available on the Shopee e-commerce platform as part of its Raya Bersama Shopee campaign that ends on May 26.

“We believe that our partnership with Shopee, especially during this meaningful Ramadan and Hari Raya period, will go a long way in creating awareness and getting more people covered,” said Great Eastern Takaful chief executive officer Shahrul Azlan Shahriman in a statement.

Currently, almost half of the population do not have any form of takaful or insurance protection.

Shopee regional managing director Ian Ho said everyone deserved to be protected and the HospeeFamily plan would enable many more Malaysians to own a protection plan due to its affordability and accessibility.

“This partnership will not only help those in need but also provide comfort during this difficult time. We hope that more people will be protected and have access to coverage,” he said.
