The General Overseer of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has advised men aged 40 and above to prioritise regular prostate health checks.

“If you are 40 or older, make sure you are checking your prostate. You hear me? If you are 40 and above, make sure you are checking your prostate. Check your prostate at least every three or six months,” he said during the 31st Watch Night Service at Action Chapel on December 31, 2024.

The Archbishop, who shared his personal experience, revealed how early detection saved his life.

“If I didn’t do the check when I did it, I wouldn’t be standing on my feet today, I wouldn’t be here. Catch it at the right time, and the enemy has an agenda, and it was hiding,” he stated.

Duncan-Williams also reassured men about the available resources and medical facilities that are capable of providing effective care.

“Prostate issues are one of the leading causes of death among Black men. I know some places that I can recommend to you, and they can help save your life. They saved mine, and there are people here whom I recommended, and they saved their lives too,” he advocated.
