### 'Unko Drill' is the key to conveying and remembering.
In Japan, colorectal cancer is a common cancer with high incidence and mortality rates. While early detection and early treatment are crucial for saving lives, the screening rate remains insufficient.
This booklet, supervised by doctors, explains the topic with the unique humor and clarity of Unko Drill. It is expected that children will not only enjoy learning but also naturally initiate conversations at home, such as 'Dad, Mom, have you been tested?'
### Health education for families, starting from elementary school students.
This booklet will be distributed to elementary schools nationwide that wish to receive it, and will also be utilized at colorectal cancer screening awareness events.
As a clinical diagnostic reagent manufacturer, our company has supported 'the front lines of testing.' This initiative goes beyond that scope, representing our new endeavor to raise public awareness of screening throughout society and disseminate correct knowledge, starting with the children who will lead the next generation.
### 'There are lives that can be saved through testing' — The first step from Unko Drill.
Through this booklet, our company hopes that as many people as possible will become interested in colorectal cancer screening and take actions that protect lives. Eiken Chemical will continue to support people's health and peace of mind through testing, and challenge new forms of communication that reach a wide range of generations.
