The Tau Chi and Upsilon Lambda Chapters of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. USA, in partnership with the Prostate & Natural Healthcare Foundation, will offer free comprehensive prostate cancer screenings to the first 100 men who show up in Accra on Monday, November 16, 2026.
As part of the fraternity's Achievement Week celebrations, the initiative is aimed at promoting early detection and saving lives.
Participants will receive a full preventive diagnostic screening package, including a prostate scan, a PSA blood test, urinalysis, and a diabetes risk panel, as well as blood pressure checks, Body Mass Index assessment and professional health consultations.
The event will be held at the PNHF Headquarters at Spintex Coastal Junction, behind ABSA Bank, starting at 8:30 a.m. Organisers noted that prostate cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among men in Ghana, largely because many cases are detected late.
The initiative aims to break that cycle by providing free, accessible and confidential screening to men in Accra and its environs.
"Many men are suffering in silence because of fear, stigma, or cost. We want to remove those barriers. This screening is FREE, confidential, and could save a life. Our mission is simple: Detect, Protect & Preserve," a spokesperson said.
The chapters have launched a fundraising campaign with a target of US$2,000 to fully cover all 100 screenings, with a donation of US$20 funding a complete battery of preventive diagnostic tests for one man.
The organisers are calling on all men aged 40 and above, as well as men with a family history of prostate cancer, to take advantage of the opportunity. They also urged the media, community leaders, churches, mosques and corporate bodies to help spread the word.
