CIBC Walk for the Cure 2018

For the 3rd year, we are partnership with CIBC Trinidad for their Annual Walk for the Cure and Burn for Prostate Cancer Prevention.
"The high­est mor­tal­i­ty rate from prostate can­cer in the world is T&T, prob­a­bly be­cause we're not screen­ing our pop­u­la­tion who're at risk, so we're los­ing our men at an alarm­ing rate," Laquis said. (Act­ing chair­man of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Can­cer So­ci­ety (TTCS).


Men across Trinidad and Tobago can now access prostate cancer tests at a significantly lower cost, as CIBC First Caribbean and Vitas House Hospice partner to subsidize the cost of prostate cancer screenings at the Trinidad and Tobago Cancer Society’s Prostate Screening Clinic.

Anthony Seeraj, Managing Director of CIBC First Caribbean’s local operation, emphasized the necessity of men safeguarding their health and wellness. “This is an issue which we must treat with urgency, and CIBC First Caribbean is proud to advance our impact by raising awareness and providing tangible assistance to encourage prostate cancer screening. One of the focuses of our organization is ensuring the health and wellness of the communities we serve, so we are privileged to partner with Vitas House on this critical initiative,” he added.

Mrs. Lilia Mootoo, General Manager of Vitas House Hospice Trinidad and Tobago noted the significance of CIBC First Caribbean’s support. “CIBC First Caribbean has been a steadfast supporter of Vitas House over the years, assisting us in our aim of delivering quality care to our patients,” she remarked.


From SSL, we wish this partnership continued success in the future, as we continue to lend our Support in this Fight.
