Lebanon Is Offering Free Prostate Cancer Screenings for Men, Here’s What You Should Know
Men between the ages of 50 and 70 in Lebanon can now get a free prostate cancer screening at government hospitals! The Ministry of Public Health has launched a national campaign to encourage early detection, with free Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests and follow-up MRI scans.
The campaign runs from November 9, 2026, until February 15, 2027, giving eligible men enough time to squeeze in a visit to a government hospital and benefit from the free screening. Those whose PSA test results indicate the need for further investigation can also have an MRI scan covered by the Ministry during the campaign.
Why Does Early Detection Matter?
Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers affecting men in Lebanon. Detecting it early can improve treatment outcomes and increase the chances of successful recovery. It’s also important to remember that prostate cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages, which is why regular checkups and medical consultations matter, even when you feel perfectly fine.
By making screenings available free of charge at government hospitals, this campaign aims to make early detection more accessible and encourage men to take their health seriously without worrying about the cost of initial testing and necessary follow-up imaging.
