A mother gave birth to six babies in Sri Lanka on 21 October, and is said to be the country’s first-ever case of sextuplets and recorded as the 19th case worldwide. AIA Insurance extended their heartfelt wishes to the parents as they stepped into this new journey of parenthood.
As a company that is driven by the brand purpose of encouraging people live healthier, longer, better lives AIA values this precious moment that is special to these parents and the entire country. The company stepped forward to support the new parents in taking care of their six bundles of love.
A free life insurance cover worth Rs. 10,000,000 for the father for 10 years and a Rs. 500,000 cash cheque for medical and educational expenses of the children were presented to the father in the presence of AIA CEO Nikhil Advani and Ninewells Senior Director Maj. Gen. (Retd.) Ranaweera USP.
Nikhil Advani added: “As a parent of twins, I know the joy and delight a new-born baby brings into a family, and for these parents, it is six times over. Along with the monumental moment of joy, every parent is bestowed with the sense of responsibility of ensuring protection and wellbeing for them. Which is why we understand the importance of been financially protected in the years to come.”
AIA Sri Lanka is in partnership with Ninewells hospitals since 2020, a leader in maternity and women/child wellness. Nikhil Advani commented: “The amazing facilities at Ninewells and the great work by the doctors and nurses made this possible.”
As part of the partnership, AIA provides financial protection and security to families that step into parenthood by providing a Rs. 1 million worth of Worldwide Personal Accidental Life Insurance cover free-of-charge.
