Many partners, one message: As One Against Cancer.

Cancer is the second most common cause of death in Germany. This year, the LEJ Hub is the initiator of a global campaign in the fight against cancer.

The basic idea for the campaign was simple - many (regional) partners of DHL hub Leipzig send a strong signal: Together we are committed to the fight against cancer. This message has now been captured in a campaign film, among other things. Stefan Macourek and Katharina Kienitz,  Communication, share their impressions of the production period of this heartfelt initiative as well as an important message: Go for a check-up!

Logistics as a lifeline

A total of 9.7 million people died worldwide from a diagnosis of cancer in 2022. In order to diagnose the disease and implement appropriate therapies, appropriate medication and laboratory samples are needed. Here, logistics plays a decisive role in quickly connecting patients and drug producers. This is because they are often drugs that contain a radiation dose, so-called radiopharmaceuticals. If such a shipment arrives too late, the dose is no longer strong enough and may no longer be able to help the patient.
