Customer preferences:
Customers in Myanmar are increasingly recognizing the importance of health insurance as a means to safeguard their well-being and financial stability. With rising healthcare costs and a growing awareness of the benefits of insurance coverage, individuals and families are seeking comprehensive health insurance plans to ensure access to quality medical services without incurring high out-of-pocket expenses.
