AVA Medical is dedicated to prioritizing the mental health and well-being of its employees, embodying its name's meaning, "giving life," in every aspect of its operations. With a forward-thinking approach, AVA Medical has implemented innovative initiatives aimed at nurturing the mental health of its workforce, which comprises over 600 individuals.
Groundbreaking activities form the cornerstone of AVA Medical's commitment to mental wellness, empowering employees to apply learned techniques not only within their professional domains but also in their personal lives.
AVA Wellness is built around three main pillars: Mental Health, Well-being, and Keep Fit.
Maurician Wildlife Foundation
We have several promising projects on the horizon for AVA Technopark in collaboration with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF), focusing on conservation efforts. Together, we aim to support initiatives that protect and preserve Mauritius' unique natural heritage. These upcoming projects will enhance our commitment to environmental sustainability and reinforce our dedication to safeguarding the island’s biodiversity for future generations.
Will Fly
We are proud to actively collaborate with the NGO Will Fly, supporting their mission to enhance the lives of children in need. Through our ongoing partnership, we organize donation drives, engage in various activities, and provide continuous support. Part of our commitment includes offering mental health activities, such as sophrology sessions, to help the children build confidence, self-esteem, and focus. This is an ongoing initiative that reflects our dedication to making a positive and lasting impact on their well-being.
Support to Chagossian Students
For two consecutive years, AVA has continued its valuable support to four remarkable Chagossian students, covering the costs of their studies. Displaced from the Chagos archipelago half a century ago, their families have been facing challenging living conditions in Mauritius and the Seychelles. The Chagos Refugees Group, an NGO operating in Mauritius and the United Kingdom, identified these students based on their academic accomplishments and financial need.
A healthy body equals a healthy mind, and at AVA Medical, we understand the connection between physical well-being and productivity at work. Through our AVA Go program, we empower employees to prioritize their physical health, which directly enhances focus, energy, and overall workplace performance. By sponsoring our AVA Trail Team, we encourage participation in trail running to promote fitness, reduce stress, and clear the mind.
The upcoming construction of an on-site gym will further support employees by providing easy access to exercise, helping them stay active and return to work refreshed and ready to perform at their best. These initiatives, along with other wellness efforts, aim to build a strong, energized workforce capable of achieving a healthy balance between well-being and productivity.
Driven by the core values of Leadership, Innovation, Family, and Excellence (L.I.F.E), AVA Medical is committed to making sustainable and positive difference for future generations. Through the AVA Wellness program, we take meaningful steps to improve the well-being and satisfaction of our employees, ensuring their health and happiness are a priority.
AVA Medical has integrated Dance Movement Therapy into its wellness repertoire. The "Move for Self-Care" masterclass, led by certified practitioner Daphne Amaya Rouillard, enables participants to reconnect with their bodies, fostering harmony between physical and mental realms. Through guided exercises and movements, participants embark on a journey of self-discovery, releasing tension and embracing creativity in an authentic group setting.
