Polaris Bank In Partnership with Men's Clinic Offer Free Prostate Cancer Screening to 250 Men

Following the remarkable success of its 2024 free prostate cancer screening programme, which delivered life-saving early detection to hundreds of Nigerian men, Polaris Bank has again partnered with the foremost Men’s Health Clinic to launch the 2025 edition of its flagship male wellness initiative themed “Men, Your Health Matters – Get Screened Today!”

Prostate cancer remains the second most common cancer among Nigerian men but its early detection offers a survival rate exceeding 98%. Building on last year’s overwhelming impact, Polaris Bank is fully sponsoring another round of comprehensive, painless, and confidential screenings that include PSA blood test, Digital Rectal Examination (DRE), and one-on-one specialist consultation at no cost whatsoever to beneficiaries.

Hence Polaris Bank promises to provide completely free prostate cancer screening for 250 men aged 40 and above from November 24 to December 31, 2025.

Polaris Bank’s Managing Director/CEO, Kayode Lawal, while commenting on the initiative said the feedback and lives touched in 2024 has reaffirmed the bank's commitment to men’s health.

 He expressed delight to sustaining the tradition, removing every barrier to early detection, as well welcome more men into the Polaris Bank family with seamless, rewarding banking experiences.

On his part, Mr. Akin Oteniya, Founder and Chief Medical Director of Men’s Health Clinic, last year’s collaboration with Polaris Bank set a gold standard for corporate health responsibility in Nigeria.

Oteniya said the Men’s Health Clinic is proud to partner again in 2025 to deliver dignified expert care and continue saving lives through early intervention.

Participation is open to all men aged 40 and above. To ensure a smooth and rewarding process, every participant – whether an existing customer or not – is required to have (or open) a Polaris Bank account. Non-customers can indicate during registration if they would like to be contacted immediately to open an account in minutes with zero opening balance and no charges.

Only 250 fully sponsored slots are available strictly on first-come, first-served basis and results and personalised counselling will be provided within 48 hours.

As a result of this initiative, Polaris Bank and Men’s Health Clinic are directly contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by promoting universal access to preventive healthcare, reducing non-communicable disease mortality through early detection and advancing health equity for Nigerian men.
