SINGAPORE — To commemorate 50 years of Singapore’s independence, all babies born next year will be eligible for free insurance by Singapore-based insurer Great Eastern (GE).
The integrated private medical insurance plan will be offered free for a year and covers hospitalisation at Class A wards at all restructured hospitals. The premium for a year for this plan is worth S$108.
Named the SupremeHealth A Plus, it is an upgrade from the basic MediShield plan that all newborn babies are covered under, unless parents opt out.
“As a homegrown company…I think we are very privileged to be able to play a part in Singapore’s growth, and provide insurance for many generations of Singaporeans. So our SG50 initiative is our way of giving back to the community,” said Great Eastern Singapore chief executive officer Khoo Kah Siang.
