In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Polaris Bank, a leading digital retail commercial bank in Nigeria, has announced the sponsorship of free breast cancer screenings for 250 women. The initiative underscores the bank’s longstanding commitment to women’s health and aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages.
Polaris Bank’s intervention aims to empower underserved communities with access to life-saving screenings and builds upon the bank’s established track record in the fight against the disease.

The bank has partnered with NGO Care Organisation Public Enlightenment (C.O.P.E.) for over a decade, providing screenings to more than 20,000 women and funding treatment for over 30 cancer patients.
]This year’s programme targets underserved communities, emphasising early detection, crucial for improved survival rates and reduced treatment costs.

In addition to the screenings, the bank continues to promote awareness through education, advocacy and outreach programmes, encouraging women to conduct regular self-examinations and seek timely medical attention. This holistic strategy aims to build a culture of early detection for a healthier future. The bank goes beyond medical intervention, fostering a supportive community for survivors.

Initiatives like “Celebrating Our Pink Heroes” and spa outings provide a platform for experience sharing and dispelling the stigma associated with the disease. In 2019, Polaris Bank also partnered with C.O.P.E. to distribute prosthetic bras to survivors, offering practical support and promoting self-confidence.

Polaris Bank’s commitment extends to infrastructure development. The bank co-financed the establishment of the Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre and Specialist Hospital (MRCC), a leading cancer treatment facility in sub-Saharan Africa. This investment strengthens healthcare infrastructure and improves access to specialised care for Nigerian citizens.
