HNB Assurance PLC recently announced the launch of Liya Harasara from 8 March to 8 April to coincide with International Women’s Day that was commemorated on 8 March. This is the fourth consecutive year that the company is conducting this program whereby women could avail themselves of a free year’s life cover of up to Rs. 1 million.
HNB Assurance PLC Chief Operating Officer Prasantha Fernando said: “The woman of today is independent, confident and self-reliant, and is able to match and even out perform their male counterparts in many a sphere. Today’s woman plays a pivotal role in society. Apart from being the caregiver to the family unit, economic realities have necessitated that in most cases they also become co-bread winners working hand in hand with their spouses to uplift the living standards of the family. It is our view that womanhood should be celebrated, and equal opportunity is afforded to women. It is in this backdrop that we developed the Liya Harasara program as a gesture of celebration and gratitude and have been able to take it from strength to strength over the last four years and this year is bigger and better than before.” Commenting on the other features of this offer, HNB Assurance PLC Chief Business Officer Ivan Nicholas said: “This year we have been able to make a very unique proposition for policies that carry a hospitalisation cover whereby women are offered a hospitalisation benefit by way of a payment of up to Rs. 10,000 per day limited to three days per annum for pregnancy related ailments during the period that the policy is in force.
