Cancer Screening and Early Detection

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting Nigerian women, and it is most treatable when found early. We promote breast health awareness and work with healthcare partners to improve access to appropriate breast screening and clinical assessments — including clinical breast examination and referral for further investigation where needed.

Our awareness programmes teach breast self-awareness and encourage women to seek professional advice promptly when they notice any change.

Cervical cancer is largely preventable, yet it remains a leading cause of cancer death among Nigerian women. We work to improve access to cervical cancer screening, share clear information about HPV and HPV vaccination, and connect women with appropriate follow-up services through participating health facilities.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Nigerian men. We encourage men — especially those over 40 or with a family history — to understand prostate health, talk to a qualified healthcare professional and access appropriate screening services, such as PSA testing, where advised.

Our free screening campaigns are delivered through participating government health facilities, hospitals and healthcare providers in host communities. When a campaign is announced, we publish the participating facilities, dates and eligibility guidance on our website and through our community and media partners.
