Healthcare needs

Proper healthcare is essential for maintaining a good quality of life, especially as you age. With Akaun Fleksibel, you can allocate funds for medical expenses not covered in Akaun Sejahtera. This ensures you have the financial resources for routine health check-ups, necessary treatments, and long-term care. Planning for these expenses in advance can alleviate stress and provide peace of mind knowing that your health needs are financially supported.


Home renovations
