LG Electronics has introduced free comprehensive health insurance coverage for customers who purchase selected air conditioner models, expanding its consumer health protection initiative in Nigeria.
The company said in a statement on Sunday that the scheme, developed in partnership with AXA Mansard Health, builds on an earlier malaria-focused insurance programme and has now been widened into a broader healthcare support package for Nigerian households.
According to LG, the initial programme was designed to address the high prevalence of malaria in Nigeria, which accounts for a significant share of global cases. The company said the expansion reflects its effort to combine product innovation with social impact in the Nigerian market.
Under the new arrangement, eligible customers who purchase selected LG air conditioner models will receive free health insurance covering a range of common and uncomplicated medical conditions.
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 others.
Speaking on the initiative, General Manager, Eco Solutions Division, LG Electronics Nigeria, Mr. Joonkyu Song, said the programme reflects the company’s commitment to consumer wellbeing beyond its products.
“This initiative reflects our understanding of what truly matters to Nigerian consumers beyond the products they purchase,” Song said.
“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.”
LG said the initiative forms part of its broader corporate social responsibility strategy and its ongoing partnership with AXA Mansard Health aimed at improving access to healthcare services in Nigeria.
