Aster DM Healthcare, the largest integrated healthcare provider network in the GCC and India, has announced a new policy to provide financial support for the next 10 years to the families of their employees who lose their lives in the fight against Covid-19.
Company’s Founder Chairman and Managing Director – Dr. Azad Moopen said, “While most of the infected staff are back to work to continue the battle, although exhausted, few of them have succumbed to the sinister monster. They have unfortunately left behind young families with wives, children and ageing parents. While praying for their departed souls, we thought that we should provide the families some support as many of those who died were the sole bread winners for their families.”
The new policy will support the families of Aster employees who lost their lives due to Covid-19 or those who may succumb, God forbid, to the disease in the future. Their dependents will continue to receive the monthly basic salary of the deceased employee for the next 10 years. This will be applicable to all Aster DM Healthcare employees in India and GCC.
Aster DM Healthcare has served 28,000 Covid-19 positive patients till date and screened over 1,662,726 people across 7 countries in the Middle East and India. With 27 hospitals, 115 clinics and 225 pharmacies managed by 21,000 employees.
Aster is one of the leading integrated healthcare provider networks in the GCC and an emerging player in India. It employs over 2880 doctors, 6280 nurses and 11,000 enabling staff who have been battling against Covid-19 in 7 countries, the company said. (India CSR)
