Insurance Commission of The Bahamas Proud Sponsor of the 3rd Annual Fertility Empowerment International Conference 2026
Nassau, The Bahamas — The Insurance Commission of The Bahamas was proud to sponsor the 3rd Annual Fertility Empowerment International Conference 2026, held at Atlantis, Paradise Island. The conference brought together regional and international stakeholders to advance critical dialogue on fertility, women’s wellness, and holistic health.
As the regulator of the insurance industry, the Insurance Commission recognises the essential link between health, financial protection, and social wellbeing. Supporting initiatives focused on fertility and women’s health aligns with the Commission’s mandate to promote a responsive, inclusive, and sustainable insurance sector that reflects the evolving needs of families and the workforce.
The Commission’s engagement extended beyond sponsorship through participation by two team members who contributed as panel speakers. Ms. Trishawna Kelly, Senior Analyst in the Examinations Unit, shared a personal perspective drawn from her experience as a cancer survivor. Ms. Kelly highlighted the important questions many women face following serious illness, including fertility considerations and navigating the next phase of life. Her contribution emphasized the human impact of health challenges and the need for compassionate healthcare and insurance frameworks that support women beyond survival.
The Commission was also represented by Mrs. Aanica Scavella, Human Resource Manager, who spoke from an employer and Human Resources perspective. Mrs. Scavella emphasized the importance of HR being at the table to advocate for an organisation’s most valuable resource, its people and the need for empathy and open dialogue around fertility and women’s health in the workplace. She further highlighted the role of employer-provided insurance coverage as a key
component of employee wellness, noting that benefits must be structured to meaningfully support women’s health needs and strengthen workforce engagement and stability.
Through its sponsorship and participation, the Insurance Commission reaffirmed its role not only as a regulator, but also as a champion for education, advocacy, and collaboration on issues affecting women’s health and economic participation. The Commission remains committed to supporting initiatives that encourage thoughtful dialogue and people-centred insurance solutions.
