AIA Insurance donated 3 lifeguard towers which were installed at the Nachchaduwa, Nuwara Wewa and Abaya Wewa Life Saving Units. These lifeguard towers serve to help the Police Lifeguards that patrol these lakes and protect the lives of swimmers. AIA has been conducting the Poson Safety Programme for 26 years, to protect the lives of pilgrims who bath in the lakes in and around Anuradhapura, during Poson. Having realized that the Police Life Saving Unit required some assistance in year-round lifesaving efforts, AIA stepped up to help with the lifeguard towers, so the lifeguards can carry out their duties with more convenience.

AIA Insurance’s Premier Agency Circle (PAC) opened its Metro Office at the AIA Tower which is its Head Office in Colombo 7. AIA’s PAC office was opened with the objective of developing a fulltime Agency sales force. Full time agents are a new concept to Sri Lanka and AIA provides these handpicked Wealth Planners a highly specialised training and management programme that is designed to fast track them towards achieving Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) membership. MDRT, is the highest qualification for Life Insurance Agents. PAC Metro is the second office opened under the PAC initiative and focuses on active involvement in quality recruitment and team performance development.

60 of AIA’s staff from the Head Office and Regional Offices from as far as the North and East, gathered to travel to Mahiyanganaya to give the 50-year-old Mahiyanganaya Base Hospital a cleanup and a new coat of paint. The hospital cares for a large number of patients, with the OPD catering to a population of over 550,000 in the region. AIA’s team of enthusiastic volunteers colour-washed and cleaned the entire OPD unit and also renovated the two washrooms. Dr. Prasad Jayasundara - the medical superintendent of Mahiyanganaya base hospital thanked AIA for their efforts and noted that this will certainly help in enabling a positive environment for patients.
