-

Union Assurance is to announce its support to “Arakshawe Wagakeema Itukaramu” Campaign launched by Ministry of Health, GMOA and Itukama to promote COVID-19 protection. The alliance offers much-needed awareness in managing the spread of the virus to mitigate the potential disruption to the health and wellbeing of our Citizens and their livelihood­s.

Recent research shows a positive correlatio­n in public awareness on attitude and practice, concluding that public awareness must be improved to be prepared for epidemic and pandemic situations. A comprehens­ive public health education programme is important to increase awareness and to reach sufficient knowledge.

The awareness drive kicked off on 19th October conveys a powerful message,“Arakshawe Wagakeema Itukaramu” to remind the public of their responsibi­lity in protecting themselves and others. The digital-first campaign presents a series of videos and posts on best practices supported by traditiona­l and outdoor media.

Jude Gomes, CEO of Union Assurance commented on this efforts, “We are in solidarity with the national efforts to support COVID-19 protection. At this point we understand that creating awareness is a priority and we consider it our obligation as a responsibl­e corporate citizen to support the national cause. We want to spread this message to all parts of the country and minimize the negative implicatio­ns of a community spread.”
