Medical Sustainability Guide
Your current coverage vs your future coverage
First, let’s understand the concept of Takaful. Takaful refers to the cooperation between individuals to mutually aid each other in providing financial assistance to participants in need. A portion of the contributed amount will be donated into the shared pool called Tabarru’ Fund which is used to pay all claims received by the Takaful Operator.
Did you know? In 2023, RM141 million medical claims were made, which is 45% more than in year 2022. If the claims volume exceeds the total Tabarru’ collected without intervention, the Tabarru’ Fund may deplete and the Takaful Operator may no longer be able to provide coverage to other Takaful participants that contribute to the Tabarru’ Fund. This is where revision of Takaful contribution amount takes place, to ensure the sustainability of the Tabarru’ Fund for the payment of Takaful benefits offered under your Certificate.
Takaful contributions may be affected, potentially impacting your personal finances as well, but Takaful coverage is still a necessity!
