Sudden health emergencies can impact more than your well-being — they can disrupt your ability to earn. For millions of people who rely on daily income, especially gig workers and small vendors, even a short hospital stay can mean serious financial trouble.
Zong 4G, in partnership with Webdoc, has introduced a low-cost income protection service that aims to ease that burden. It’s designed to give users a fixed daily amount during hospitalization, helping them stay afloat when they can’t work.
What makes it practical is its pricing structure:
-
Rs. 3/day gets you Rs. 500/day of coverage
-
Rs. 7/day offers Rs. 1,000/day
-
Rs. 13/day provides Rs. 2,000/day
These benefits apply during hospitalization, with funds available to help manage household needs, food, or utility bills — all without needing to dip into savings or borrow money.
To activate the service, users can simply dial 9362 or use the My Zong App. The process is straightforward and doesn’t require any formal documentation, making it accessible to anyone with a Zong SIM.
This service reflects a broader shift in how telecom companies are engaging with users. Rather than just offering data and call packages, they’re beginning to introduce digital solutions to everyday problems — financial protection being one of them.
While the feature won’t replace full health insurance, it does offer some degree of financial stability for those most vulnerable to income loss. In an increasingly unpredictable world, services like these may become essential for Pakistan’s evolving workforce.
