In recognition of Black History Month, this episode of On Focus builds on the stark fact that black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer at twice the rate of white men, and invites a leader in London’s black community to explore the reasons why.

Jonathan Oloyede is a British Nigerian who trained as a medical doctor and now serves as a full-time missionary and minister in England and Europe. He is founder and leader at City Chapel in East London, which among its many community outreach programmes supports local health initiatives including a man-to-man mentoring project. In this episode, he discusses the challenges that men in his community face regarding their health, and how he is playing a key role in supporting  them.
