People without life insurance or critical illness cover in the UK may begin to see the merits of such protection when they consider the discrepancies in quality of care for cancer patients across the country.

CancerPartnersUK is an independent body founded by cancer treatment experts.

Medical director for the organisation, Karol Sikora, said that while the standard of dealing with cancer patients in Britain has improved, there still remains a regional variation in access to treatment.

Mr Sikora also believes that men should take better care of themselves to improve their level of treatment – something which critical illness cover could help with.

He says: "Men don't talk about their problems, they don't worry so much about them, so the quality of care that they get is probably not as good as the quality of care that women get." ADNFCR-3251-ID-19948314-ADNFCR -- 0 comments: - Post your own comment
