Polaris Bank Launches Free Prostate Cancer Screening for 250 Men
Building on the success of its 2024 initiative, Polaris Bank has announced the launch of the 2025 edition of its flagship men’s health program, this time themed “Men, Your Health Matters – Get Screened Today!” The Bank, in collaboration with the leading Men’s Health Clinic, will provide free prostate cancer screenings to 250 Nigerian men aged 40 and above from November 24 to December 31, 2025.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among Nigerian men, yet early diagnosis can lead to a survival rate of over 98%. Responding to this, Polaris Bank is sponsoring comprehensive, painless, and confidential screenings, including PSA blood tests, Digital Rectal Examinations (DRE), and personalized consultations with specialists—completely free of charge.
Polaris Bank’s CEO, Kayode Lawal, expressed his commitment: “Our 2024 success reaffirmed the importance of men’s health. We are excited to continue this initiative, breaking down barriers to early detection and welcoming more men into the Polaris Bank family with seamless banking services.”
Mr. Akin Oteniya, Founder and Chief Medical Director of Men’s Health Clinic, added: “Our partnership with Polaris Bank last year set a new standard for corporate social responsibility in Nigeria. We are proud to team up again in 2025 to deliver quality care and save lives through early detection.”
Participation is open to all men aged 40 and above. Prospective participants, whether existing customers or not, must have or open a Polaris Bank account. Non-customers can indicate interest during registration to open an account instantly, with zero opening fees.
Seats are limited to 250, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Results and counseling will be provided within 48 hours.
