What is A-Life CriticalCare?
The A-Life Critical Care from AIA is a whole life policy which will provide coverage against 36 critical illness, death, and total and permanent disablement. The great thing about about this insurance policy is that you will be able to share in the profits of the company, by paying out dividends to policyholders. Bear in mind that these profit earnings are not guaranteed, and the amount you stand to receive will depend on the company's performance.

How much premium do I have to pay annually?
