Health continued to show promising growth in 2020, mainly from COVID-19 related products. Direct premium recorded by Health in 2020 is THB 17.0 million, of which THB 3.7 million is attributable to COVID-19 products. Excluding COVID-19 products, Health premiums grew by c.14%. The strong growth was due to increased awareness of the need for health insurance due to COVID-19, eligibility for income tax relief and a rapidly aging population.
