In a symbolic gesture to mark World Diabetes Day, Colombo's famous Lotus Tower was lit up in bright blue on 14 November.

The lighting campaign was organised by Union Assurance alongside the Diabetes Association of Sri Lanka (DASL) to highlight the urgent need for diabetes awareness and national action.

The blue lighting also highlighted this year's World Diabetes Day theme, "Early Action on Diabetes", showing solidarity with those living with the condition.

Union Assurance is actively working to tackle the nation's diabetes challenge through its flagship CSR project, Union Assurance Suwamaga, conducted in partnership with the Ministry of Health and DASL.
