World Thalassemia Day Initiative

On May 8, 2024, Dhivehi Insurance, a leading insurance provider in the Maldives, took a significant step in supporting the fight against thalassemia by organizing a blood donation drive at the Thalassemia Centre in Malé in honor of World Thalassemia Day. Recognizing the critical need for blood donations for patients suffering from this genetic blood disorder, Dhivehi Insurance mobilized its employees to contribute to this vital cause.

Employees from various departments gathered at the Thalassemia Centre, showing solidarity and compassion for those affected by thalassemia. The blood donation event aimed to collect much-needed blood supplies and raise awareness about the condition, its impact, and the importance of regular blood donations.

In addition to the blood drive, Dhivehi Insurance launched an awareness campaign on their social media platforms, sharing educational posts about thalassemia, its symptoms, and the ongoing need for blood donations. Informative sessions were also conducted by medical professionals to educate employees and the public about the condition and how they can support those living with thalassemia.

The initiative received an overwhelmingly positive response, with many employees and community members expressing their gratitude and support for the cause. The MD of Dhivehi Insurance emphasized the company's commitment to corporate social responsibility and the importance of giving back to the community, especially in supporting health-related causes.

By organizing the blood donation drive and raising awareness, Dhivehi Insurance not only contributed to the immediate needs of thalassemia patients but also highlighted the continuous need for community involvement in health initiatives. This effort underscored the company's dedication to making a positive impact on society and supporting the well-being of individuals affected by thalassemia.

The successful event marked a meaningful contribution to World Thalassemia Day, reinforcing Dhivehi Insurance’s role as a responsible corporate citizen committed to fostering a healthier and more informed community.
