Cancer Awareness and Support Activities around the World
As a global MedTech company with key products such as endoscopes in the field of cancer screening, detection and treatment, the Olympus Group bears a great social responsibility. It takes more than our innovative products and services to fulfill our Purpose "Making people's lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling."
At the Olympus Group, we address relevant social issues by promoting impactful cancer awareness activities that generate outcomes for beneficiaries such as public citizens like potential cancer patients and nonprofit partners on a global scale. We, the Olympus Group, also conduct internal awareness campaigns for employees. Accordingly, our cancer awareness activities contribute to a positive social change in the area of healthcare with the aim of improving the awareness and knowledge of prevention and early detection of cancer amongst our communities and employees. In addition to raising awareness about cancer, we also focus on wellness activities that comfort cancer patients, cancer survivors, and their families during the healing process.
Endoscopes are used to test for and treat a variety of diseases. Stomach and colorectal cancers, for example, have a high chance of being cured with early detection and treatment, and endoscopes contribute to the detection and treatment of these cancers. However, cancers present almost no symptoms in their early stages, many precious lives are lost due to missed opportunities for early detection and treatment without cancer screening and detailed examinations.
To raise awareness among as many people as possible of the importance of the early detection and treatment of cancer, Olympus is engaged in a variety of cancer awareness activities around the world.
