Nigeria’s leading health insurance company, AXA Mansard Health, has partnered with the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) to donate over 250 pints of blood.

According to the insurance firm, this was done under the company volunteering programme tagged AXA Hearts in Action. The initiative saw more than 100 employees of AXA donate blood during the drive.

AXA Hearts in Action (AHIA) is AXA’s global programme aimed at contributing to positive societal and environmental impacts through employee volunteering, expertise-related financial support and in-kind donations.

“Through the AHIA, our employees do not just give time to great causes; we work together for a better future.

“We share our time, knowledge and expertise as a people with a shared purpose of acting for human progress by protecting what matters through initiatives like this,” said the Chief Client Officer, AXA Mansard, Rashidat Adebisi.

Adebisi said the blood drive is a “shining example of the philosophy in action, where collective contributions serve as a reminder that true impact often involves giving more than just money. It’s about putting one’s heart in action – an idea embedded

in AXA’s corporate culture”.

Speaking on the initiative, the Chief Executive Officer, AXA Mansard Health Limited, Tope Adeniyi, said with hospitals frequently experiencing blood shortages, events like these serve as a lifeline for patients in need.

However, “We are proud to contribute to the local healthcare sector and provide much-needed support to hospitals such as LUTH, ensuring that they have resources essential to saving lives.”

The Head of Corporate Services and Public Relations at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Omolola Olubukunola Fakeye, also expressed gratitude, stating, “The generous support from AXA Mansard has made a meaningful difference to our blood bank and ultimately to the lives of patients.

“Blood donations are invaluable in many critical treatments, and initiatives like AXA Mansard’s blood drive bring immense relief to healthcare system.

“We are sincerely grateful for this partnership and the dedication of AXA Mansard’s employees.”
