Microinsurance Subsidy

  Due to their health conditions, rare disease patients are considered as high-risk clients and their insurance applications are often denied by commercial insurance companies. This makes patients and their families vulnerable to accidents because they would face much more difficult situations without assistance and supports. Unexpected events happen in life, and people should always be prepared for it. Following Government's microinsurance policy to protect vulnerable groups, TFRD contacted with more than 10 insurance companies and finally found a company willing to undertake, and has been providing microinsurace subsidy for rare disorder patients since July 2012. By the end of 2017, a total of 3,207 patients were insured, 194 up from the end of 2016. Through this service, TFRD efforts to provide a more secured life for families of patients with rare disorders.
