    What you need depends on your circumstances.

    It is likely to be a selection from
    Level term assurance
    Family income benefit
    decreasing term assurance
    (the above would ideally be on guranteed and not reviewable basis and with Critical illness cover to a certain extent)
    Permanent Health Insurance
    PPI or MPPI

    It isnt really possible to say what combination of these is needed as that will depend on your circumstances. That list is not exhaustive either. There are other plans that could be appropriate but cant say from what you have typed.
