Care Health Insurance is urging families to prioritize their fathers’ health this Father’s Day by focusing on proactive hypertension management. With hypertension, or high blood pressure, posing a significant risk to cardiovascular health and often remaining undetected due to its symptomless nature, the initiative underscores the importance of regular health screenings and healthy lifestyle choices.
Recent studies have highlighted a concerning trend: a notable gender gap in hypertension awareness and treatment, with men experiencing a 6.9% rise in cases over the past eight years compared to women. This disparity is attributed to women’s routine healthcare engagement, including regular blood pressure monitoring during antenatal care, while men tend to shy away from voluntary health screenings.
Mr. Ajay Shah, Head of Distribution at Care Health Insurance, emphasized the critical role of early detection and management of hypertension. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to providing accessible and affordable health insurance solutions that support individuals in managing their blood pressure and overall health effectively. Care Health Insurance’s Care Supreme plan offers comprehensive coverage, including benefits such as extensive hospitalization coverage, e-consultations, and wellness discounts of up to 30% on renewal premiums. The plan is designed to empower policyholders to maintain a healthy lifestyle and secure their financial future.
