COMMITTEE UPDATES
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the lives of billions of people across the world, with the world, a very different place since early 2020. As we step into the new year, there is a renewed sense of hope with COVID-19 vaccination programs beginning to roll-out in many countries. Lianne Braganza-D’Sylva Chief Marketing Officer Cigna Insurance Middle East & Africa shared the results of Cigna's "COVID-19 Global Impact Study" which was conducted to understand the impact of COVID-19 on people’s health and wellbeing. In addition, offered solutions for employers to help navigate the current situation and tools that can help companies improve the health & wellbeing of their employee.
