August ended on a high note for local community in Lagos Mainland Yaba as AXA Mansard Health, a leading health insurance provider in Nigeria, reaffirmed its commitment to improving access to quality healthcare by organizing a free medical outreach for the people of Iwaya.
This outreach is part of the company’s AXA Heart In Action initiative, a key component of AXA Mansard’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. The program encourages employees to engage directly with communities, offering their time, expertise, and resources to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. On this occasion the company provided free preliminary health checks, diagnostic tests, and essential medications to over hundreds of individuals in need.
Speaking at the event, Tope Adeniyi, CEO of AXA Mansard Health, emphasized the importance of continuity in community engagement. Our goal is to bring these services directly into communities like Iwaya which allows us to bridge the gap and touch lives where it matters most. This is not just corporate social responsibility for us; it is part of our DNA as a company committed to enabling people to live better lives by not just to providing healthcare services but to build lasting relationships with communities that need support.
The event saw the active participation of AXA Mansard Health’s leadership team, including Tope Adeniyi, CEO of AXA Mansard Health, Dr. Jadesola Idowu, Chief Operating Officer, and, Head of Medical Services Olamide Lawal, who joined staff and volunteers in delivering care and support. Their presence reinforced the company’s hands-on approach to social impact and its dedication to improving lives beyond the corporate sphere.
Residents received a range of medical services including blood pressure checks, malaria testing, and general health consultations. Medications were dispensed on-site, and patients were given guidance on managing their conditions and maintaining healthier lifestyles.
Dr. Jadesola Idowu noted, “Healthcare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their socio-economic status. This outreach is part of our broader mission to close the gap in healthcare access and empower communities with the tools they need to thrive.”
One of the most impactful aspects of the outreach was the involvement of AXA Mansard Health employees. From setting up the venue to assisting with medical logistics and distributing medications, staff members played an integral role in ensuring the event’s success. Their dedication and teamwork exemplified the spirit of the AXA Heart In Action initiative.
Adebola Surakat, Chief Marketing Officer of AXA Mansard Health, added, “This is more than just a CSR activity—it’s a movement. We are building a culture of empathy and service within our organization, and it’s inspiring to see our people come together to make a real difference.”
The outreach was met with deep appreciation from the Iwaya community. Local leaders and residents expressed gratitude for the company’s continued support, especially during challenging economic times. The initiative not only addressed immediate health concerns but also fostered a sense of hope and solidarity.
As AXA Mansard Health continues to expand its CSR footprint, the company remains committed to creating sustainable impact through consistent engagement and meaningful partnerships. This outreach stands as a testament to its mission to protect what matters and to build healthier, more resilient communities across Nigeria.
