The free breast cancer screening program for 250 Nigerian women will be sponsored by Polaris Bank in observance of October 2024, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This program is a component of the bank’s ongoing efforts to promote advocacy, prevention, and awareness of breast cancer in Nigeria.
According to the bank, “Breast cancer continues to pose a significant threat to women, not just in Nigeria but globally.
As a responsible corporate organization, we understand the importance of early detection and are committed to empowering women with access to this lifesaving screening.
Our partnership with COPE is integral to making this service accessible to more women.”
This year’s sponsorship aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), focusing on preventing needless suffering from preventable diseases and premature death.
The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that early detection increases survival rates and reduces treatment costs.
