At the beginning of the financial year, Max Life created a separate Covid-19 pool as part of its CSR budget to support the front-line workers including health practitioners, police personnel, and those affected by the crisis. As a collective contribution to combat the pandemic, Max Life has committed to donate PPE and safety kits that include masks, face-shields, gloves, thermometers, and sanitizers.  The face masks have been procured from underprivileged women self-help group associated with the Gurugram District Administration.

In recognition of Max Life’s contribution, Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram, Mr. Amit Khatri, said, “Since the start of the pandemic, the district administration of Gurugram has remained committed to provide exceptional support across different arenas to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Complementing our efforts in this direction, we are grateful for the support received from Max Life Insurance. Through the means of the self-care kits and PPEs presented by Max Life, we look forward to alleviate the hardships of the patients recovering from COVID-19 across government hospitals and of our health and police officials who are performing dutifully on the frontline. Our gratitude goes out to such organisations who are implementing thoughtful programs to assist those affected by this pandemic. We hope our collective efforts can add significant value to the city’s overall relief measures”.

Speaking on the initiative, Prashant Tripathy, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Max Life said, “The COVID-19 crisis has had a deep and significant impact on communities and various sections of the society. As a responsible corporate citizen, Max Life stands united with the district administration of Gurugram to support the COVID-19 patients, health professionals and police personnel fighting this pandemic. We hope our humble contribution helps make a difference in the lives of the COVID-19 warriors by safeguarding their health and keeping them protected. We are fully engaged and committed to mobilizing our efforts towards fighting COVID-19 and hope our initiatives can help ease the hardships of those affected.”

In addition to its earlier contribution to the PM Cares Fund, and today’s contribution of health and safety kits in Gurugram, Max Life has also planned several other initiatives under the COVID-19 CSR agenda that includes providing food and ration support to underprivileged families amongst other activities.
