Kuala Lumpur, 28 September 2020 – United Overseas (Malaysia) Bhd (UOB Malaysia) today launched the UOB Lady’s Savings Account, the only financial solution for women in Malaysia that combines a savings account with complimentary[1] takaful coverage for six female-related cancers[2].

According to a 2018 survey conducted by Malaysia’s Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK)[3], only 55 per cent of women have the financial ability to cover medical bills of RM2,500 while 67 per cent could only afford RM1,000 for emergency expenses. In contrast, treatments for cancer patients in Malaysia may exceed RM10,000 depending on the diagnosis, cancer stage and treatment type[4]. The total cost of treatment also depends on whether the patient seeks care at a public or private hospital.
