AffordPlan offers a manageable payment structure, developed specifically for an individual's need,based on their liquidity."

According to National Family Health Survey-3, the private medical sector remains the primary source of healthcare for 70% of households in urban areas and 63% of households in rural areas. While the facilities have been improving across the sectors, so have been the high out-of-pocket expenses. In fact, the surge in out-of-pocket costs of private healthcare has led many households to incur catastrophic healthcare expenditure, threatening the household's ability to maintain even a basic standard of living.
