In its strategic commitment to women’s health and empowerment, the Coronation Women Initiative Network (Coronation WIN) successfully hosted a Wellness Fair and Breast Cancer Awareness campaign across its business locations in Nigeria.

The event provided free health checks for all employees and vital breast cancer screenings for female employees, aligning with the global observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This initiative reflects Coronation Group’s alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5, which champions gender equality and women’s empowerment.

A highlight of the event was a hybrid session led by AXA Mansard titled “Understanding Breast Cancer: Prevention and Early Detection.”

Iyanuoluwa Oni, health specialist, emphasised the critical importance of early detection in reducing breast cancer mortality rates, especially in resource-constrained environments.

The World Health Organization’s Global Breast Cancer Initiative aims to reduce global breast cancer mortality rates by 2.5 percent per year by 2040.
