The initiative, part of the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts, aligns with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, emphasising the importance of early detection and proactive healthcare support in communities.

Speaking at the Access Bank ‘Breast Cancer Awareness and Screening’ held in Lagos, the executive director of Corporate and Investment Banking at Access Bank, Iyabo Okusanya reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to creating a positive social impact in communities where it operates.

She stated that “if you make money from a community, you have a social responsibility to give to that community, to ensure that that community is sustained, because it is only through the sustenance of that community that your own business can become sustainable.”

She added that AWN through this awareness campaign aims to facilitate early breast cancer detection by providing free screenings; breast scans for women under 40 and mammograms for those over 40.

We do not wish for such, but if per adventurer is anyone here is diagnosed to have breast cancer, we at Access Bank will provide all the required support to ensure that she comes out a survivor.”

Group head of Commercial Banking at Access Bank, Vashti Samdi, emphasised the need for healthcare support for women beyond the market, saying “there is a likelihood that one out of every eight women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
