When you set up a hospital, diagnostic center, or clinic, it’s important to protect your investment. Fires, floods, thefts, and vandalism can cause serious damage to your property and equipment, leading to huge financial losses.
That’s why having the right insurance policies is as important as having the best doctors and medical equipment!
Here are two must-have insurance policies for every healthcare setup.
🔥 1. Standard Fire and Allied Perils Policy
What It Covers:
- Fire (accidental)
- Lightning
- Explosion/Implosion
- Vehicle impact on building
- Riot, strike, and malicious damage
- Storms, cyclones, and floods
- Earthquake (optional add-on)
- Water damage from sprinkler leakage or burst pipes
Purpose:
👉 This insurance protects the physical assets of your hospital, like:
- Building
- Medical equipment
- OT (Operation Theatre) setup
- Computers
- Furniture and interiors
If there’s a fire, flood, riot, or natural disaster, you can claim insurance to repair or replace the damaged assets.
Why It’s Important:
✅ Essential for hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and diagnostic centers.
✅ Helps you avoid financial loss and quickly rebuild after an accident.
🛡️ 2. Burglary Insurance
What It Covers:
- Theft or burglary (forced break-ins)
- Attempted burglary causing property damage
- Robbery (including violence)
Purpose:
👉 It protects your movable assets like:
- Medicine stocks
- Diagnostic machines (CT scans, ultrasound, etc.)
- Computers and laptops
- Cash is kept securely in a safe (optional)
If someone breaks into your hospital and steals expensive items or damages your setup, burglary insurance will compensate you.
Why It’s Important:
✅ Standard fire insurance does not cover theft.
✅ To be fully protected, you need both fire and burglary insurance.
Without burglary insurance, any loss due to theft remains your financial burden.
💡 Final Tip:
Many insurance companies offer comprehensive packages that combine fire, burglary, equipment breakdown, and public liability coverage.
👉 Always check the policy details and choose add-ons like earthquake cover, if needed, based on your region.
