Global medical company Olympus Korea received the Minister of Health and Welfare Award at the ‘2023 Love Sharing Social Contribution Awards’ held on the 19th. Olympus Korea is a provider of diagnostic and treatment solutions such as medical endoscopes, laparoscopes, and surgical equipment.

Olympus Korea was recognized for its contributions to Korean society through the ‘Going-on Campaign’ launched in 2020. The Going-on Campaign is a social contribution activity aimed at fostering social empathy and emotional support for cancer survivors. It carries the meaning that the beautiful lives of cancer survivors continue even after diagnosis.

The program was developed reflecting the voices of cancer survivors and their families. It includes the ‘Going-on Diary,’ where cancer survivors communicate by writing diaries; the ‘Going-on Studio,’ which supports the production of video content by cancer survivors; the customized music concert ‘Going-on Concert’; and the ‘Going-on Webtoon,’ which supports the social reintegration of cancer survivors.

Naoki Okada, CEO of Olympus Korea, said, “We are pleased that the sincerity and achievements of our social contribution activities, which have been striving to fulfill the corporate purpose of making human life healthier, safer, and more abundant, have been recognized. We will continue various programs, including the Going-on Campaign, to foster social empathy and provide emotional support for cancer survivors.”
