Star Health launched India’s first health insurance policy in Braille.
Star Health and Allied Insurance has introduced an insurance policy in Braille.
Its main aim is to empower visually impaired individuals in India.
It will allow blind people to access health insurance information independently.
The policy has been designed to fulfil the specific needs of people with 40% or more disability, including physical, sensory, or cognitive impairments.
Star Health has also launched an initiative for visually impaired individuals to become health insurance agents.
The initiative will focus on training and up-skilling of marginalized groups. It will allow them to generate income while working from home.
The Braille policy has been developed in partnership with the National Association of the Blind (NAB).
