In United Arab Emirates (UAE), a corporation named Aster has announced to provide financial support for 10 years to families of employees who die in the fight against novel coronavirus.

As per details, overall 2,880 doctors, 6,280 nurses and 11,000 support staff from the group are on the frontlines in the fight against the virus in seven countries and more than 5,150 employees have been infected with the virus since the start of the outbreak.
The Founder Chairman and Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare stated, “Our dedicated staff have been the real heroes in this battle against Covid-19. They put the needs of the patients ahead of their own lives”.
He further added, “While most of the infected staff are back to work to continue the battle, a few of them have succumbed to the virus. They have sadly left behind young families with wives, children and ageing parents. We thought that we should provide the families some support as many of those who died were the sole breadwinners for their families.”
The updated policy will support the families of Aster employees who lost their lives due to Covid-19 or may succumb to the virus in future.
Following the new policy, dependents will continue to receive the monthly basic salary of the deceased employee for the next 10 years.
The updated policy will also be applicable to all Aster DM Healthcare employees in India and GCC.
Reportedly, Aster DM Healthcare has served 28,000 coronavirus positive patients till date and screened over 1.6 million people across seven countries in the Middle East and India.
