FWD Takaful Berhad (“FWD Takaful”) and DoctorOnCall (“DOC”), the country’s first and largest digital healthcare platform, have partnered to expand takaful access and increase financial literacy levels among Malaysians.
This partnership breaks new ground for FWD Takaful and DOC to strategically position themselves in the digital healthcare realm since healthcare and takaful are traditionally offline industries.
It is underscored by campaigns to drive awareness of FWD SpecialMed 2 – a medical plan for people with disabilities, and the two EPF i-Lindung products – FWD i-Lindung Term Takaful Plan and FWD i-Lindung Critical Illness Plan – offering family-wide protection on the KWSP i-Akaun app. These specialised takaful products serve to provide greater takaful access to the health-conscious and tech-savvy professionals.
With thousands of medical practitioners listed on its platform, DOC has emerged as a credible healthcare service catering to the needs of some 1,900,000 patients to date.
FWD Takaful’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Vishwanath Pasupathy said: “Through our partnership with DOC, we aim to leverage their innovative approach to increasing healthcare availability and protection coverage. This collaboration will enable us to promote our specialised takaful products and connect with a wider, more health-conscious and tech-savvy generation and we hope to educate them on the importance of early financial planning.”
Sharing similar aspirations, DoctorOnCall’s Chief Executive Officer, Maran Virumandi, said: “We are excited to have FWD Takaful Berhad draw upon our resources to broaden takaful protection and narrow the protection gap in Malaysia, meeting our ambition to provide accessible healthcare services anywhere and everywhere. Our partnership also paves the way for FWD Takaful to establish a robust digital presence in the healthcare industry.”
