Kuala Lumpur, 27 July 2026 – Critical Illness is no longer a concern confined to older adults. New insights from Allianz Life Insurance Malaysia Berhad’s (Allianz Life) own claim experience reveals that 49% of Critical Illness claims were made by customers below the age of 40, highlighting a growing need for younger Malaysians to take proactive steps towards their health and financial preparedness. 

To encourage earlier action, Allianz Life is inviting Malaysians to discover more about their health and wellbeing at the Allianz Health Festival 2026, a one-day immersive experience designed to empower individuals and families to take proactive steps towards prevention, protection and recovery.

Taking place on Saturday, 1 August 2026, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at APW Bangsar, the festival will bring together health experts, wellness advocates, survivors and caregivers for a day of learning, discovery and practical action.

Held under the theme ‘Discover More Today, Secure What Matters Tomorrow’, the Allianz Health Festival aims to make health awareness more accessible and actionable by providing visitors with opportunities to better understand their health risks and take meaningful steps to safeguard their future.

Visitors can look forward to:

1. Free basic health and cancer risk factor screenings

2. Expert talks and educational health sessions

3. Inspiring stories from survivors and caregivers

4. Interactive wellness experiences

5. Practical guidance on prevention, protection and recovery

6. Tips and tools to support healthier lifestyles

Unlike a traditional health fair, the Allianz Health Festival is designed as an experiential journey that encourages visitors to explore the different aspects of physical, mental and financial wellbeing while gaining practical insights they can apply in their everyday lives.

“Many people believe serious illnesses only happen later in life, but the reality is that health risks can emerge much earlier than expected,” said Allianz Life Chief Executive Officer, Giulio Slavich.

“The Allianz Health Festival is an opportunity for Malaysians to better understand their health, learn from experts and gain practical knowledge that can help them make informed decisions for themselves and their loved ones. Through greater awareness and early action, we are confident in empowering more Malaysians to build healthier and more resilient futures,” he added.

The festival is expected to resonate particularly with young working adults, growing families and those in the sandwich generation who are balancing the needs of their children and ageing parents.

Members of the public are encouraged to register and join Allianz Life for a meaningful day of health, learning and inspiration.
