Medics Partners Women’s Health Center, in collaboration with the Oba Saheed Elegushi Foundation, will host Nigeria’s largest single-day free breast screening exercise on October 1st, 2025, at the Monarch Event Center, Lekki.

The initiative is part of the Medics Partners Health for All Project and aims to provide thousands of women with free breast scans during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, raising awareness and supporting early detection.

“The Medics Partners Women’s Health Center was created with one mission: to care for every woman, at every stage,” said Dr. Busola Ayelowo, Chief Medical Director of Medics Partners. “This October, we are going beyond premium healthcare by extending that care to the less privileged, ensuring no woman is left behind in the fight against breast cancer.”

The Women’s Health Center, recently launched in Victoria Island, Lagos, offers comprehensive and premium care for women, including gynecology, reproductive health, obstetrics and prenatal care, breast health and cancer management, menopause and hormonal disorders, as well as urogynecology. At its helm is Dr. Waliyat Jolayemi, a leading gynecologist, who is committed to advancing world-class, patient-centered healthcare.

Akin Eso, CEO of Medics Partners, emphasized the organization’s inclusive vision. “For everyone who patronizes Medics Partners, there is a less privileged person benefiting. We believe premium healthcare must also mean inclusive healthcare. That is why the Women’s Health Center is not just about raising standards, but also about raising lives,” he said.

The October 1st event is expected to draw women from across Lagos and beyond, combining expert medical services with grassroots outreach to tackle one of the most pressing health challenges facing women today. Medics Partners’ leadership in this initiative highlights its dual identity as a premium healthcare provider and a champion of social impact, redefining how healthcare institutions engage with their communities.
