August concluded with a heartwarming community outreach in Lagos Mainland, Yaba, as AXA Mansard Health, a prominent Nigerian health insurance provider, reaffirmed its dedication to enhancing healthcare access through a free medical initiative in Iwaya. This event was part of the company’s AXA Heart In Action program, a core element of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, which focuses on direct community engagement.
During the outreach, hundreds of residents received free preliminary health screenings, diagnostic tests, and essential medications. The initiative aimed to bridge healthcare gaps by bringing services directly to underserved communities, embodying AXA Mansard’s philosophy of making a tangible difference beyond corporate obligations.
CEO of AXA Mansard Health, Tope Adeniyi, highlighted the importance of sustained community involvement. “Our mission extends beyond providing health services; it’s about building genuine relationships within communities like Iwaya. This is embedded in our core values—helping people live healthier, better lives,” he stated.
The event was attended by top leadership, including Dr. Jadesola Idowu, COO, and Olamide Lawal, Head of Medical Services, who actively participated alongside staff and volunteers in delivering care. Their presence underscored the company’s hands-on approach to social impact.
Residents benefited from blood pressure checks, malaria testing, health consultations, and on-site medication distribution. Participants also received advice on managing health conditions and adopting healthier lifestyles. Dr. Idowu emphasized healthcare accessibility for all, noting that “closing the gap in healthcare is central to our mission to empower communities to flourish.”
Employee involvement was a key driver of the event’s success. Staff members contributed to logistics, setup, and medication distribution, exemplifying the spirit of the AXA Heart In Action initiative. Adebola Surakat, CMO of AXA Mansard Health, remarked, “This is more than CSR; it’s a movement rooted in empathy and service. Seeing our team come together to create meaningful impact inspires us all.”
The community responded with gratitude, appreciating the company’s ongoing support, especially amid economic challenges. The outreach not only addressed immediate health needs but also fostered unity and hope within Iwaya.
As AXA Mansard Health continues to grow its CSR efforts, it remains committed to sustainable community development through consistent engagement and strategic partnerships. This initiative exemplifies its mission to protect what matters and to cultivate healthier, more resilient Nigerian communities.
