Manulife Introduces ‘Manulife គាំពារ (Manulife Korm Pear)’, Strengthening Cancer Protection for Cambodian Families
New Release
February 13th, 2026
Phnom Penh – Manulife today launches ‘Manulife គាំពារ (Manulife Korm Pear)’, a new cancer protection plan that provides customers with access to early detection and treatment from the early stages and is designed to strengthen financial resilience and provide peace of mind for Cambodian families. The introduction of this plan reinforces Manulife’s focus on supporting the long-term wellbeing and longevity of Cambodians and reflects its commitment to stand beside Cambodian families throughout every stage of life. By ensuring that care and support are within reach, the plan provides the protection families need when facing a diagnosis that could reshape their future.
Cambodia faces a rising cancer burden, with about 20,000 new cases and 14,000[1] deaths each year. Many treatable cancers are still detected incidentally or only once symptoms appear, often at a late stage when treatment is more challenging and expensive. At the same time, most families remain financially vulnerable to a life-changing cancer diagnosis, with 71.5%[2] of medical costs paid from household income and 23.7% from savings, making unexpected illness a major strain on family stability.
“Cancer is a reality many Cambodian families face, and no one should face it alone,” said Rotha Chan, CEO and General Managerof Manulife Cambodia. “Every day, 38 Cambodians lose their lives to cancer, in part because early detection feels out of reach for many. Manulife គាំពារ (Manulife Korm Pear) is more than insurance—it’s peace of mind and dependable support when families need it most. By providing equal coverage for both early and late-stage cancer, we empower families to seek healthcare sooner, improve their quality of life, and protect their future.”
Manulife គាំពារ (Manulife Korm Pear) is designed to help ease these burdens by providing dependable financial protection at every stage of the cancer journey. With its essential 3 in 1 coverage for cancer, life, and total and permanent disability, the plan offers families up to $10,000 in support from the time a cancer diagnosis is confirmed—whether the cancer is found early or later. By encouraging earlier health checks and supporting timely detection, Manulife គាំពារ (Manulife Korm Pear) empowers customers to take proactive steps that contribute to better outcomes and reduce long term financial strain.
To broaden accessibility, the plan allows customers to secure coverage without a medical examination and requires only 2 years of premium payments for 6 full years of coverage. Customers who choose to make a one-time premium payment are eligible for a 40% discount, making protection even more affordable.
