The bill H. 4626 proposes the establishment of a Division of Men's Health within the South Carolina Department of Public Health. This new division is tasked with raising awareness of health issues specifically affecting men, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, heart disease, and mental health concerns. The division will also focus on developmental issues for boys, violence prevention, and promoting self-esteem and communication skills.

Additionally, the Division of Men's Health is required to conduct an annual assessment in collaboration with public health schools in South Carolina to evaluate men's health status. Based on this assessment, the division will recommend policy developments to address identified health disparities among men and suggest necessary services to the General Assembly. The bill will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
