Provide life insurance cover for NHS staff, risking their lives, during Covid19
Provide life insurance cover for each NHS healthcare worker, equal to lifetime NHS earnings, in case they die, during Corona virus pandemic, with diagnosis of Corona +ve.
Healthcare workers need assurance that families and loved ones will get financial stability, if they die, while saving lives
Healthcare workers are putting their own lives at risk, while providing care for patients, suspected and proven cases of Corona virus.
We know that there is not enough PPE equipment to use as Universal precautions, while dealing with all patients. Testing for suspected cases is limited, based on high risk symptoms, travel and contact history. This invariably means healthcare workers are at higher risk than anyone else, even if they follow all recommended measures.
