Level Term Life Insurance News - protected.co.uk

Adults and children undergoing chemotherapy treatment have been given the wrong doses or experiencing other mistakes relating to their medicine, a report has stated.

Indeed, 19 per cent of children and seven per cent of adults have found themselves in this situation, according to the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Of the 90 errors involving adults, 11 caused harm to the patient, which could be important news for those currently undergoing such treatment - and in need of a more robust life insurance policy - to know about.

Commenting on the findings, Dr Kathleen Walsh, assistant professor of paediatrics at the university, says: "As cancer care continues to shift from the hospital to the outpatient setting, the complexity of care is increasing, as is the potential for medication errors, particularly in the outpatient and home settings."

According to Cancer Research UK, chemotherapy is used to, but not limited to, shrinking a cancer before surgery and to control the symptoms and improve quality of life when a cancer is too advanced to cure.

Indeed, level term life insurance could financially protect a partner of a cancer patient - should the worst happen - until they retire via a tax-free sum of cash.
