AIM - Association Internationale de la Mutualité

The campaign is focussing on how the risk of developing cancer can significantly be reduced through simple measures:

Stop tobacco use and avoid exposure to second-hand smoke
Limit alcohol consumption
Avoid excessive sun exposure
Maintain a healthy weight, through eating healthily and exercising regularly
Protect against cancer-causing infections

To reinforce its long-term commitment to combating cancer, the European Commission launched a European Partnership for Action Against Cancer in September 2009. The objective is for all EU countries to develop integrated cancer plans. The long-term aim set out by the Commission Communication is to reduce cancer by 15% by 2020.

AIM participates as a Member in the European Partnership for Action Against Cancer.
