Provident Insurance, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital to champion Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Provident Insurance Limited has partnered with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and the Ghana Association of Urological Surgeons to mark September Prostate Cancer Awareness Month under the theme: “Early Detection Saves Lives.”

The partnership seeks to raise nationwide awareness about prostate cancer and encourage men to undergo regular screenings. Prostate cancer remains one of the leading health concerns for men in Ghana, and early detection is proven to significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates.

Speaking at the launch, the Managing Director of Provident Insurance, Ken Doh emphasized the company’s commitment to safeguarding not just lives and businesses through insurance, but also the health and well-being of the communities it serves.

At Provident, we believe that true protection goes beyond insuring property—it is about safeguarding people and families. That is why this partnership is deeply meaningful to us. Just as insurance provides peace of mind, early detection offers men the best chance to fight, survive, and thrive,” he said.

He further noted that over the past few years, Provident Insurance has consistently supported breast cancer and childhood cancer initiatives, alongside other CSR activities. This year’s prostate cancer awareness partnership reinforces the company’s commitment to public health and community resilience. “It is our modest way of giving back to society while also helping to disseminate vital information and create awareness—something we consider critically important.”

Adding his voice, Professor J.E. Mensah, Acting Director of the Urology and Nephrology Centre of Excellence, commended Provident Insurance and emphasized the importance of awareness.

“Prostate cancer is a silent but serious threat to men’s health in Ghana. Far too many men report to hospital when the disease is already advanced. With strong partnerships like this, we can break the silence, educate men to seek help early, and ultimately save lives,” said Prof. Mensah.

The program will include educational campaigns, and advocacy drives aimed at breaking the stigma around prostate health and encouraging open conversations among men, families, and communities.

Provident Insurance calls on all men to take advantage of these awareness activities, prioritize their health, and get screened. The company is also urging corporate Ghana to stand in solidarity by supporting prostate cancer awareness initiatives that save lives and protect families.
