In a bid to continue its commitment to men’s health, Polaris Bank has announced the 2025 edition of its flagship male wellness initiative, “Men, Your Health Matters – Get Screened Today!” The programme, in partnership with the Men’s Health Clinic, will provide free prostate cancer screening 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, but experts say early detection can increase survival rates to over 98%. Building on the success of the 2024 programme, which reached hundreds of men and saved lives through early detection, Polaris Bank is fully sponsoring comprehensive, confidential, and painless screenings. These include PSA blood tests, Digital Rectal Examinations (DRE), and one-on-one consultations with specialist doctors.

Commenting on the initiative, Polaris Bank’s Managing Director/CEO, Kayode Lawal, said, “The feedback and lives touched in 2024 reaffirmed our commitment to men’s health. We are delighted to sustain this tradition, remove every barrier to early detection, and welcome more men into the Polaris Bank family with seamless, rewarding banking experiences.”

Mr. Akin Oteniya, Founder and Chief Medical Director of Men’s Health Clinic, described the partnership as a benchmark for corporate social responsibility in health. “Last year’s collaboration with Polaris Bank set a gold standard for corporate health responsibility in Nigeria. We are proud to partner again in 2025 to deliver dignified, expert care and continue saving lives through early intervention,” he said.

Participation is open to all men aged 40 and above. To ensure a smooth process, each participant—whether an existing customer or not—must have a Polaris Bank account. Non-customers can register and choose to open an account instantly, with zero minimum balance and no charges.

Only 250 fully sponsored slots are available, allocated strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. Screening results and personalized counselling will be delivered within 48 hours of the test.

Through this initiative, Polaris Bank and Men’s Health Clinic aim to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, promoting universal access to preventive healthcare, reducing mortality from non-communicable diseases, and advancing health equity among Nigerian men.
