US-Based Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Chapters Partner PNHF to Offer Free Prostate Cancer Screening for 100 Men in Accra

The Tau Chi and Upsilon Lambda Chapters of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., USA, have partnered with the Prostate & Natural Healthcare Foundation (PNHF) to provide free comprehensive prostate cancer screening for 100 men in Accra as part of their 2026 Achievement Week celebrations.

The initiative, scheduled for Monday, November 16, 2026, at the PNHF Headquarters, Spintex Coastal Junction, behind ABSA Bank, will begin at 8:30 a.m. under the theme “Early Detection is Key to Survival” and the mission “Detect, Protect & Preserve.”

The exercise seeks to promote early detection of prostate cancer, raise awareness about men’s health, and eliminate financial barriers that prevent many Ghanaian men from accessing preventive healthcare.

The first 100 men to arrive will benefit from a free comprehensive screening package valued at $20 per person.

The package includes prostate ultrasound scans, Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests, urinalysis, diabetes risk assessments, blood pressure checks, Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments, professional medical consultations, and prostate health education.

According to the organizers, prostate cancer remains a major health threat to men in Ghana, with late diagnosis contributing to preventable deaths.

The initiative is therefore designed to encourage men to prioritize regular medical examinations and seek timely healthcare interventions.

Speaking ahead of the exercise, a spokesperson for the organizers emphasized the importance of removing barriers to prostate healthcare.

“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,” the spokesperson stated.

The organizers are particularly encouraging men aged 40 and above, as well as those with a family history of prostate cancer, to participate in the exercise.

To support the programme, the two fraternity chapters have launched a $2,000 fundraising campaign to cover the cost of screening all 100 beneficiaries.

They explained that a donation of just $20 could provide a Ghanaian man with access to essential preventive health examinations that he might otherwise be unable to afford.

The Tau Chi and Upsilon Lambda Chapters, together with PNHF, are calling on corporate institutions, churches, mosques, community leaders, civil society organizations, and the media to support the initiative and help spread awareness.

The partnership forms part of the fraternity’s broader commitment to community service, men’s wellness, and preventive healthcare, with the ultimate goal of saving lives through early detection.
