OneHealth is the generation-next health insurance which covers various significant medical conditions as well as lifestyle diseases which are covered rarely in the industry.

Speaking to the media on the occasion Mr. Rajive Kumaraswami, MD & CEO, Magma HDI, said, “According to studies, with increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases in India, one out of four Indians is at risk of dying from non-communicable diseases. Keeping the need of the customer and the modern lifestyle in focus this policy is designed to meet the requirements of the customer and his entire family. This policy along with covering all major lifestyle diseases will also offer additional benefits like restoration benefit, cumulative bonus, free annual health check up etc”.
