Along with cancer screening programs, the facility also addresses concerns regarding various lifestyle problems and helps in minimizing potentially life-threatening diseases.

However, the one good thing is that at least one-third of common cancers are preventable. With initiatives like these and world-class screening facilities like NURA, Fujifilm has stood firm on its commitment to the fight against breast cancer.
