Despite a 22% growth in health insurance premium numbers, insurance penetration in India remains sluggish. The number of lives covered under individual health insurance policies has grown by 2.5% to 528.9 lakh in March 2023, lower than March 2021 levels. Overall, the number of lives covered under health insurance, including group business, has increased by 5.7% in FY23. However, government scheme coverage has declined to 29.8 crore in FY23. The affordability of health insurance remains an issue, leading to older people dropping out due to higher rates.from Business News: Latest News on Business, Stock Markets, Financial News, India Business & World Business News https://ift.tt/jkX6N8P
