Dr. Marius BarnardDr. Marius Barnard

Dr. Barnard (Nov. 3, 1927 – Nov. 14, 2014) was a South African cardiac surgeon and the inventor of critical illness insurance.

He was a member of the team headed by his brother Christiaan Barnard who performed the world’s first human-to human heart transplantation in 1967. Dr. Barnard was motivated by the financial hardship he saw his patients suffer to convince the South African insurance companies to introduce a new type of insurance. He argued that, as a medical doctor, he could repair a man physically, but only insurers could repair a patient’s finances. Just over 30 years ago, on Oct. 6, 1983, the first critical illness insurance policy was launched.
