Polaris Bank has renewed its commitment to men’s health with the launch of its 2025 free prostate cancer screening campaign, offered in partnership with the renowned Men’s Health Clinic.
The initiative, themed “Men, Your Health Matters – Get Screened Today!”, is set to provide free prostate cancer screening to 250 men aged 40 and above between November 24 and December 31, 2025.

With prostate cancer ranking as the second most common cancer among men in Nigeria and with early detection offering survival rates above 98%, Polaris Bank is doubling down on preventive healthcare by covering all screening costs for participants.
