The Jamaica Family Planning Association stands with the Jamaica Cancer Society and the Ministry of Health and Wellness this *Prostate Cancer Awareness Month*.

With 1,561 new cases recorded in Jamaica in 2020, prostate cancer remains a critical public health concern. Prevention and early detection through clinical screening are essential tools in reducing its impact.

We are committed to raising awareness and supporting access to education, counselling, and health services for men and their families.
