Access Bank’s ‘W’ Initiative- a female-focused, banking-led programme, is set to hold the fifth edition of its ‘W Health Month Programme’.
The yearly women’s health month programme aims at promoting sound health among women. This edition is scheduled for this month.
The ‘W’ Initiative recognises the importance of women’s health and seeks to make a positive impact on the lives of women in the community. Through the month-long campaign, the bank 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.
Group Head, W Initiative, Access Bank Plc, Abiodun Olubitan, said the bank has consistently led the way in empowering women and its commitment has remained steadfast.

“This October, the ‘W Initiative’ has 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,” Olubitan said.
Olubitan noted that the campaign aligns with the bank’s commitment to social responsibility and empowering women in the 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,” Olubitan said.
Olubitan reiterated that the bank’s ‘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 specialised procedures making access to quality healthcare easier and convenient for women and their families.
