Activa International Insurance Company, Liberia Limited (AIIL), has announced the provision of an innovative Life Insurance Policy Package for Liberia’s frontline health workers who are providing vital health services at the 14 military hospital where COVID-19 patients are currently undergoing treatment.

It is to cover 115 (one hundred and fifteen) medical and allied employees at the hospital against natural and accidental deaths to include deaths emanating from the COVID-19 pandemic. The protection will directly impact the lives of the families of those health workers who might fall prey to the virus.
The managing director and chief executive officer of Activa International Insurance Company, also professor of insurance law, Mr. Saye D. Gbalazeh, in a press statement issued in Monrovia over the weekend, said that the provision of the insurance package by Activa is a part of ACTIVA Group Foundation’s tradition to allocate funds for corporate social initiatives. Activa Group Foundation is the charity Arm of the Activa Group.
“The funds to support our Life Insurance Package for these COVID-19 Frontline Health Workers and allied Employees at the 14-Military Hospital come from the Activa Foundation and underpins our company’s philosophy of a loyal and purpose-driven corporate citizenship imbued with the culture of giving back to the community in which it operates. In the context of the pandemic, this gutsy Life Insurance Policy Package from Activa Liberia is the first of such corporate initiatives and represents a new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program proposition of acting out of the ordinary” CEO Gbalazeh averred.
Activa Liberia will formally launch this Life Insurance Policy Package for the Frontline Health Workers and allied Employees next Tuesday, May 5, 2020, at the Ministry of Health in Monrovia.
