📌 What is Insurance?
Insurance is a way to protect yourself and your belongings from unexpected financial losses. In Kyrgyzstan, insurance helps people cover the costs of accidents, damage to property, health issues, and other risks by sharing these costs with an insurance company.
💡 Simple explanation: Instead of paying all costs alone, you pay a smaller amount called a premium to the insurance company, and they promise to cover certain losses if they happen.
🎯 Why is Insurance Important?
Accidents or disasters can happen to anyone. Without insurance, you might have to pay large sums of money on your own, which can be very difficult.
Insurance gives you:
-
✅ Peace of mind
-
✅ Financial protection
-
✅ Security for your future
