As the rainy season and school term begin in Thailand, AXA Insurance Thailand is highlighting its Tropical Disease Insurance to provide families with peace of mind through comprehensive protection against mosquito-borne illnesses, including dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika virus, malaria, and Japanese encephalitis.
With the rainy season increasing the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses, protection is more important than ever. In 2024, dengue fever alone affected over 104,000 people in Thailand and claimed 88 lives, with children aged 5-14 most at risk*.
Other diseases transmitted by Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex mosquitoes also pose a threat to young children and older adults. AXA's Tropical Disease Insurance offers families peace of mind, so kids can return to school and enjoy the outdoors safely.
Key features of AXA Tropical Disease Insurance include:
- Affordable annual premiums starting at just THB 146.
- No medical check-up required for enrolment.
- Lump-sum benefits of up to THB 30,000 upon diagnosis and a one-night inpatient stay.
- Coverage available for children without parental policies.
- Instant online policy issuance via email.
- Premiums eligible for annual tax deductions, subject to Revenue Department regulations.
Paweena Khemarangsan, Chief Customer Officer, AXA Insurance Thailand, stated: "As parents ourselves, we understand the anxiety that comes with the rainy season in Thailand. Our children return to school, eager to learn and play with friends, while mosquito-borne illnesses become more prevalent. AXA's Tropical Disease Insurance was designed with families in mind, offering affordable protection against dengue fever and other tropical diseases that particularly affect children. We've made it simple to enroll without medical checks, provided instant policy issuance, and ensured it's accessible to all families. This is part of our commitment to helping Thai families live their lives with confidence and peace of mind, especially during these seasonal health challenges."
