Every November, the world comes together to raise awareness about prostate cancer, a disease that affects millions of men globally and is one of the most common cancers among men over the age of 45.
At Gaya Pharma, we believe that awareness, education, and early detection are key to saving lives. This year, in partnership with the non-profit association Morocco Africa for Healthy Horizon (MAH2), we organized a dedicated awareness session to engage men in our community and highlight the importance of prostate health.
Raising Awareness Among Men Over 45
The awareness session, held in November, specifically targeted men above the age of 45, who are at higher risk of developing prostate cancer. Many participants often lack access to accurate information, regular screening, and preventive healthcare services. Our goal was to bridge this gap by:
- Educating participants about risk factors, symptoms, and preventive measures.
- Promoting early detection through regular medical check-ups and screening.
- Encouraging open dialogue on men's health, which remains a sensitive but critical subject in many African communities.
A Commitment to Better Health in Africa
As an African Contract Research Organization (CRO) deeply rooted in the continent, Gaya Pharma goes beyond clinical research to actively contribute to public health awareness and patient education. Partnering with MAH2, our sister non-profit organization, allows us to extend our impact beyond clinical trials by bringing concrete benefits to local communities.
