Through our partnership with the WEF EDISON Alliance, we committed to screen 5 million patients through AI-assisted chest X-rays that enable us to optimise and increase lung cancer screening and early detection. By the middle of June this year, we reached the milestone of 2.5 million AI-assisted chest X-rays scans across the world, with our partner Qure.ai and healthcare institutions around the world. While this is a noteworthy milestone to commemorate, a lot more needs to be done to drive a shift towards Lung Cancer detection at earlier stages, hence improving the chance for survival. We call upon on the global oncology community to come together, in a concerted effort to close the Lung Cancer care gap by making Screening & Early Detection a priority.
