Child insurance is one of those things that mothers have to think about even before the baby comes. However, not all insurance policies cover every aspect of a child’s wellbeing. One insurance package that protects not only the baby but the mother as well, is Manulife Precious Gift, which has rightfully won Best Child Coverage Plan in the Motherhood Choice Awards 2022. Manulife Precious Gift is a unit-deducting investment-linked rider that offers comprehensive maternity and child care benefits for both you and your baby. Winners of this prestigious distinction are dubbed the best brands in their category—as voted by mums, for mums. The judgement relies on 6 criteria: Trustworthiness, Quality, Value, Understanding of Customer Needs, Innovation, and Social Responsibility. These are the pillars of excellence that ensure only the best of the best are qualified for any award. We interviewed the innovators of Manulife to learn more about their award-winning child coverage plan. Early Protection for Mother and Baby Manulife Precious Gift (MPG) was developed to ensure a new mum is able to enjoy all the joys of pregnancy and early motherhood with no worries in mind. From conception all the way to childbirth. This is the service that Manulife Precious Gift offers. “Being a first-time mother can be both exciting and overwhelming all at once, but as mothers, we understand that it will all be worthwhile in the end. The journey of parenthood begins with the most beautiful adventure a person can have, which is being pregnant. Every significant developmental milestone may cause parents to wonder if their child is growing properly and getting the right protection. Thanks to Manulife Precious Gift, mum and baby will be protected. And this is how we make every day better for both mum and baby,” mentioned Rosalynn Lai, Manulife Malaysia's Vice President. Moreover, with improvements in children's healthcare, disability and developmental problems in childhood have become more important health concerns. It is important to detect these early. Data suggests that early detection and intervention offers better long-term outcomes and better family wellbeing. This is where Manulife stands out from the rest. Manulife Precious Gift (MPG) provides the highest coverage for Child Development Disorder in the market under one single plan, unlike some offer that coverage as an optional benefit that customer need to top up to add on. Additionally, on top of the health coverage like pregnancy complications and maternal cancer, MPG also comes with emotional health support benefits for the mothers, recognising the importance of a mother’s mental wellness. You also have the option to take up additional health protection for the baby. Protection that covers not only COVID-19 but all future pandemics. This will give you peace of mind knowing should anything happen; you will have access to the healthcare support that you need. Here are the benefits that you can enjoy if you sign up for the package: Pregnancy-related complications Emotional health support Cash relief for hospitalisation Child developmental disorders (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette syndrome and more) Coverage for congenital conditions (Down’s Syndrome, cleft lip, cerebral palsy) Phototherapy treatment benefit for neonatal jaundice Maternal cancer If you want to know more about Manulife Precious Gift, click here. Family-Focused Health Insurance Manulife Malaysia has been providing life insurance solutions and services for over 59 years. Their aim is to provide health for all. A mission that culminated in innovative product solutions over the years to provide much-needed protection to all Malaysians. When asked about any future plans, Manulife Malaysia's Vice President, Rosalynn Lai, shared: “What concerns mothers concerns us, too. Hence, we will continue to ensure that our product coverage is as comprehensive as possible. Our Precious Gift package, for instance, is the only insurance plan that covers Tourette’s syndrome. With this, we will continue to actively interact and recognise the needs of our customers. Putting them at the centre of our operations and assess their needs so that we are able to provide them with the right coverage,” Manulife’s sensitivity to the needs of mothers has earned them the Best Child Coverage Plan in the Motherhood Choice Awards 2022. This is what the brand had to say about winning this prestigious award: “This award is special to us. Given that our product was only released in early March of this year, we consider it an honour that mothers recognised and nominated Manulife Precious Gift—our prenatal product—as the Best Child Coverage Plan,” said Rosalynn Lai, Manulife Malaysia's Vice President. “This award has sealed our belief in the journey of creating products that are relevant and customer focused. And through the acknowledgement here in this community, we are very certain that we will be able to reach out more to the mothers here on the importance of securing early protection for them and their babies.” For more insightful stories and fun recipes, stay tuned to Motherhood Story!
