Nassau, The Bahamas, December 11, 2025 – Colina Insurance Limited was honoured for its role in supporting national HIV and AIDS initiatives at the Honouring Our Journey Award Ceremony, hosted by the Ministry of Health and Wellness through the National HIV/AIDS and Infectious Diseases Programme, in partnership with The Bahamas AIDS Foundation.

The ceremony acknowledged individuals organisations whose work has contributed to national efforts aimed at reducing the impact of HIV and AIDS. Colina was selected as an honouree for its continued involvement in initiatives that support awareness, advocacy, and community engagement.

Speaking on Colina’s contribution to national HIV and AIDS efforts, Dr. Nikkiah Forbes noted the company’s role in supporting initiatives aimed at reducing the impact of the disease.

“In demonstration of our deep gratitude, Colina Insurance Company has been selected as one of the honourees because of the company’s sustained efforts and invaluable service to reducing HIV and AIDS within the Commonwealth of The Bahamas,” Forbes said.

Representing Colina at the ceremony was Maxine V. Seymour, Director of Corporate Communications, who reflected on the significance of the recognition and the importance of partnerships in addressing public health challenges.

“This recognition speaks to the value of standing alongside organisations and individuals who are doing meaningful work in this space,” Seymour said. “Progress happens when responsibility is shared, and communities are supported.”

A part of the company’s partnership with the organisations taking on the fight against AIDS/HIV includes The Bahamas AIDS Foundation’s annual Red Ribbon Ball, where Colina has played an integral role from inception. The award ceremony formed part of activities marking World AIDS Day 2025, which commemorated 40 years since the first confirmed case of HIV in The Bahamas. The national theme, “From Crisis to Resilience, 40 Years of Progress,” reflected a milestone in the country’s response. The event was held at The Ballroom, located in Government House.
