esponsibility for psychosocial risks, with
the emergence of increasingly strict
regulations requiring employers to
provide employees with access to
prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
AXA Assistance is supporting this trend
with the development of support
systems offered either directly or via its
partners. These include the EAP
(Employee Assistance Programme)
incorporated into the “Corporate
mobility” package, which provides
face-to-face and telephone-based
psychological counselling.

AMERICAS
HUMANITARIAN
AID FOR PANAMA:
A QUESTION OF
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
On 1 January, AXA Assistance was appointed by the Panamanian Health
Ministry to provide assistance for population groups living in a remote and
mountainous province of the country with no healthcare structure.
“As part of this programme funded by the
World Bank, AXA Assistance provided its
expertise in medical network management,
as well as 50 employees to visit the villages
concerned and supply help and support to
their underprivileged residents: it’s a really
good illustration of the social responsibility
aspects of assistance provision,” explains
Bernard Ferrand, Regional CEO of Americas.
As a result of the work done by the teams of
AXA Assistance, nearly 25,000 people living in
these particularly isolated regions now have
access to basic medical care (vaccination,
pregnancy care and obstetrics, paediatrics,
etc.), screening and treatment for serious
illnesses (malaria, tuberculosis, etc.) and
education programmes (in nutrition and
preventive health measures).
