To raise public awareness of early detection and treatment of stomach cancer and cancer screening, Olympus in China has designated October of each year as "Stomach Care Month." Each year since 2010, we have held a variety of regional events, including hands-on experience of operating an endoscope device, public lectures by physicians on health and cancer awareness, and others.
A special website on stomach cancer screening 
has also been set up in a proactive effort to provide information to the public.

Medical Training & Education Centers for medical professionals in China accept tours by high school and medical school students as part of their support for next-generation education. By offering hands-on experience in operating endoscopes and surgical equipment and sharing knowledge of medical devices and the role of the training centers, we are working to promote understanding of the importance of early detection and treatment of cancer and the importance of good health.
