Liberty General Insurance Organises 42 Health and Wellness Camps Across the Country

Chennai, December 30, 2022: In a bid to create awareness about health check-ups and promote the importance of having a Health Insurance policy, Liberty General Insurance, one of the fastest-growing General Insurance companies in India organized 42 health and eye camps in Tier I, II, & III cities for police officials, and several motor dealers and their customers in CY2022. These camps were organized under the Liberty Health 360 – an in-house claims management system.

Liberty conducted the medical camps in association with various Hospitals and multi-specialty healthcare providers such as Thunga Hospital, KIMS Group of Hospitals, Apollo Spectra, Shalby Hospitals, Sharp Sight Eye Hospitals, Indian Pain & Spine Hospital, Park Hospital, and VRH Hospital among many others. Over 3,200 people visited the medical camps to avail facilities, including various consultations and tests, such as eye check-ups, ECG, blood sugar, and blood pressure monitoring tests, among others.

There is low awareness about Health Insurance and common concerns related to it such as the right age to buy, the right amount of coverage, parameters to consider before selecting a policy, etc. These health camps also aimed at simplifying the underlining nuances of a Health Insurance policy. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. These health camps were very helpful in creating health-related awareness.

Speaking about the health & wellness initiative, Mr. Rahul Sharma, President – Claims, Liberty General Insurance said, “The population living in India’s mofussil districts and sub-tiered towns and villages often tends to neglect their health as they do not get access to basic medical facilities. We have attempted to help them get a grip on their general health levels. We hope it will enable them to proactively seek timely medical interventions and eliminate the possibility of adverse health implications.” 

“Educating and empowering the consumers with relevant information that enables them to gain access to quality healthcare – is a great way to earn that trust. Therefore the objective of these camps is to inform people at large about the significance of having a good Health insurance policy. Thus, the doctors and the Liberty representatives address the fundamental queries related to Health Insurance”, Mr. Sharma added.

While some health camps are planned in the East Zone in the next few days, Liberty’s healthcare & wellness initiatives were concentrated in the North, South, and West zones. More than 1,300 attendees in the North zone took advantage of eye check-ups and consultations for general health. The camps in South zone saw over 1,400 people take advantage of eye tests and consultations on women’s health. Over 450 people participated in the medical camps in West zone, which focussed largely on general and women’s health.

TMREIS initiates a comprehensive mental health program for its students

NGO helps build capacity and manage HELPLINE

Hyderabad, December 2022: In a first, the Telangana Minority Residential Schools (TMREIS), have embarked on a plan to set up a comprehensive, Mental Health program for the over 1.3 lacs students across 200 plus schools and colleges in the state.

TMREIS has tied up with Helping Hand Foundation (HHF), a health care NGO to help build capacity and to run the HELPLINE services.

Examination induced stress, anxiety of performance, child sexual abuse, tendency for suicide & behavioural issues are being commonly encountered in schools.

The key components of the Mental Health program would be to first build capacity, establish a HELPLINE, provide suggestion boxes at each school and to conduct live skills sessions on an ongoing basis.

About 250 teachers have been identified as counsellors after a careful selection process. They have undergone an extensive orientation program conducted by HHF, under Dr. Lavanya Mirala, Senior Clinical Psychologist with HHF.

Post the orientation the teacher-counsellors will be able to identify signs and symptoms of students having any mental health related issue, which they will immediately red-flag to a dedicated HELPLINE.

As a part of the plan, suggestion boxes will be kept in each school along with displays of HELPLINE numbers. Students are being encouraged to drop a note in the boxes on their grievances, feedback, and any mental health-related issue.

The teacher counsellors will open the boxes and address the issues reported on a regular basis, wherever necessary, counselling sessions will be done by a team of qualified psychologists through the HELPLINE. The HELPLINE can also be used by students directly to report any issue they are facing.

The teacher-counsellors will also conduct life skill sessions with students on handling examination related stress, tackling anxiety and feeling of hopelessness etc on site in the school classrooms & provide fortnightly feedback to the HELPLINE on the student’s mental health.

Releasing the Mental Health Awareness poster, Mr. B. Shafiullah IFS, Secretary of TMREIS said “this is one of first structured mental health programs by a government residential school and with proper training and a HELPLINE, student’s mental issues will be promptly addressed.
