Fujifilm announced as new “Visionary Partner” with UICC for World Cancer Day 2025-2027

New three-year partnership will showcase Fujifilm’s ambition to address critical gaps in access, equity, and care for cancer patients globally – and share unique stories behind every cancer journey.

TOKYO, January 29, 2025 – FUJIFILM Corporation has announced its position as a new “Visionary Partner” to the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) for World Cancer Day 2025-2027, entering a new three-year partnership that reinforces the company’s shared commitment to reducing the global cancer burden and improving patient outcomes.

Every year, on February 4th, World Cancer Day brings together people around the world to unite in the fight against cancer. With over 35 million new cancer cases predicted by 2050*1, and almost half of the world’s population lacking access to the healthcare they need*2, Fujifilm reinforces its commitment to taking on the biggest global health challenges.

Fujifilm’s legacy in cancer care

Nearly 40% of cancer-related deaths are deemed preventable through prevention, early detection, and timely treatment*3, which rely on extensive screening and faster diagnosis.

Fujifilm provides people-centered care by delivering total healthcare solutions that empower healthcare professionals to detect, diagnose, and treat with greater speed and accuracy. From the provision of leading-edge cancer diagnostic services such as mammography and endoscopy; the ambition to roll out NURA health screening centers in emerging countries; and partnership with the biopharmaceutical industry to support the development and manufacturing of innovative cancer treatments, Fujifilm is seeking to address critical gaps in access, equity, and care for cancer patients.

United by Unique stories

In the first year of this new partnership, Fujifilm and UICC will celebrate the strength and resilience of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals by encouraging people to share their personal stories, building upon Fujifilm’s heritage and expertise in photography.

This partnership aims to raise awareness of the importance of ensuring that cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment services are accessible to everyone.

Fujifilm is aiming to inspire action toward reshaping cancer care for the better and raise awareness of how this disease profoundly impacts the entire population.
