As part of activities marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month, HIGC Health Consultants will host its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Program on Friday, 24th October, 2025.
The event will take place in its corporate community office in the Lekki area of Lagos State and designed to reaffirm their commitment to promoting preventive healthcare and women’s wellbeing.
In a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer of HIGC Health Consultants, Dr. Owen Omon-Ojo, stated that members of the public will be enlightened on self-breast examination, early warning signs and the importance of routine screening.
“The event, themed ‘Early Detection Saves Lives,’ will bring together, healthcare professionals, staff, and community residents for a day of free breast examinations, a Pink Pledge Wall, and physician consultations.
“Participants will also receive education on self-breast examination, early warning signs, and the importance of routine screening.
“To us at HIGC Health Consultants, the importance of shifting from awareness to action is vutal. Every October,
the world turns pink in solidarity against breast cancer, but beyond awareness, we must strengthen access to screening and ensure women feel empowered to seek help early.”
“The private sector plays a critical role in advancing public health. Corporate organizations can lead the charge in promoting preventive health within their communities.”
At HIGC, we see this not just as corporate social responsibility, but as a moral duty to the people around us.”
Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among Nigerian
women, largely due to late detection.
Through initiatives like this, HIGC Health Consultants
continues to champion early diagnosis, education, and access which is true to its mission of innovating healthcare and impacting lives.
