CSR: Firm Expands Health Protection For Nigerian Consumers

LG Electronics has introduced free comprehensive insurance coverage for customers as part of its health protection initiative for Nigerian consumers.

The company disclosed in a statement that the initiative, launched in partnership with AXA Mansard Health, marks an upgrade from its earlier malaria-focused insurance programme to a broader healthcare support scheme aimed at improving access to medical care for Nigerian households.

LG noted that the programme was initially introduced to address the high prevalence of malaria in Nigeria, which accounts for a significant share of global malaria cases. The company said the latest expansion reflects its commitment to combining technology and social impact in the Nigerian market.

According to the company, the AXA Mansard-backed package covers malaria, uncomplicated typhoid, acute febrile illnesses, upper respiratory tract infections, mild cough, mild bronchial asthma, diarrhoea, dysentery, abdominal colic, worm infections, skin and eye infections, dermatitis, bruises, lacerations, musculoskeletal pain, urinary tract infections, and pelvic inflammatory disease, among other uncomplicated infections.

Speaking on the initiative, General Manager, Eco Solutions Division, LG Electronics Nigeria, Joonkyu Song, said the programme demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting consumers. “This initiative reflects our understanding of what truly matters to Nigerian consumers beyond the products they purchase. We began by addressing malaria because of its widespread impact, and today we are proud to take this initiative further by offering more comprehensive health coverage. It is our way of supporting Nigerian families not just with reliable home solutions, but with care that extends into their everyday lives,” Song said.

LG said the initiative forms part of its broader corporate social responsibility efforts and its partnership with AXA Mansard Health to improve healthcare accessibility in Nigeria.
