# New Phase of Health Insurance in uae

Healthcare in the UAE is evolving — and so are the challenges that come with it. With medical costs projected to rise by over 10% in 2025, having just the “basic” health insurance is no longer enough.  
In this episode of The Policy Project Podcast, host Malvika is joined by Toshita Chauhan, Chief Business Officer – General Insurance at Policybazaar.ae, to decode how modern [health insurance](https://www.policybazaar.ae/health-insurance/) is transforming the way UAE residents protect themselves and their families.  
From lightning-fast claims processing and automatic coverage boosts to free health check-ups in the UAE and abroad — discover why comprehensive health insurance is becoming a must-have, not just a safety net.  
We also take up real questions from UAE residents on maternity costs, dental and vision coverage, and what happens when a serious illness costs more than your policy limit.  
Tune in to understand how medical insurance is keeping up with modern lifestyle needs — and why it could be the most important investment you make for your health and peace of mind.
