Access Bank Plc through its women’s market programme, the ‘W’ Initiative is set to embark on the fifth edition of its annual Women’s Health Month program this October 2023 as part of efforts to accelerate the achievement of SDG 3, which focuses on good health and well-being.
This is in a bid to promote sound health among women and positively impact the lives of women in the community.
Speaking to the media at the bank’s head office recently, Abiodun Olubitan, Group Head, W Initiative at Access Bank said the bank has consistently led the way in empowering women and that its commitment remains steadfast.
She added that this October, the W Initiative has carefully planned a series of activities to empower millions of women across the country through expert health insights, education, and health screening opportunities.
“These include free cervical cancer screenings, free hepatitis B screenings, discounts on annual health packages, informative health talk sessions at our branches, a complimentary virtual therapy session on World Mental Health Day, an engaging W health webinar on PCOS, Sexual wellness, and Menopause, free eye screenings in observance of World Sight Day and a wide array of other inspiring events to support the health journey of our female clientele.
This campaign aligns with our commitment to social responsibility and empowering women in our community. We firmly believe that when women are healthy and well-informed, they are better equipped to achieve their personal and financial goals. Join us in our mission to promote women’s health and well-being. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of women in our community”. Abiodun concluded.
The ‘W’ Initiative remains committed to promoting healthcare accessibility for women and has continually done so through the Maternal Health Service Support (MHSS) – a discounted health financing product created specifically to enable payment of medical bills for fertility treatments, natal support, and other specialized procedures making access to quality healthcare easier and convenient for women and their families.
Access Bank through this month-long campaign hopes to raise awareness about the significance of regular health check-ups, preventative care, educate women on health-related concerns and elevate the overall quality of healthcare available to women in Nigeria.
