Tokushima Prefecture Receives Request for Support for the Cross-Adhesive Seal Movement
Tokushima City, Japan – On August 8, 2025, at 8:00 AM, a delegation led by Mr. Koichi Kusaka, Vice Chairman of the Tokushima Future Health Promotion Organization (also the Tokushima Prefectural Branch of the Japan Anti-Tuberculosis Association), and Ms. Ikumi Fujita, President of the General Incorporated Association Tokushima Women’s Organization Federation, paid a courtesy visit to the Tokushima Prefectural Government. The purpose of their visit was to request cooperation and support for the vital “Cross-Adhesive Seal Movement” (複十字シール運動).
The Cross-Adhesive Seal Movement is a long-standing and significant initiative dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the prevention and eradication of tuberculosis (TB) and other respiratory diseases. The adhesive seals, often featuring a distinctive cross design, are a symbol of solidarity and commitment to public health, with proceeds from their sale directly contributing to research, public health programs, and patient support.
During the meeting, the representatives conveyed the importance of continued community engagement and support for this crucial public health campaign. They highlighted the ongoing efforts to combat tuberculosis, a disease that, while treatable, still poses a significant health challenge globally and within Japan. The movement serves not only as a fundraising mechanism but also as a powerful tool for public education, reminding citizens of the importance of preventive measures and early detection.
The delegation expressed their sincere hope for the continued collaboration and endorsement of the Tokushima Prefectural Government in promoting the Cross-Adhesive Seal Movement. Their request emphasized the shared goal of fostering a healthier society and protecting the well-being of all residents in Tokushima. The prefecture’s support, they believe, will be instrumental in amplifying the message of the campaign and ensuring its success in reaching its objectives.
This proactive engagement underscores the dedication of both the Tokushima Future Health Promotion Organization and the Tokushima Women’s Organization Federation in safeguarding public health. The request signifies a commitment to building upon past successes and strengthening the collective effort to address tuberculosis and related health issues within the prefecture. Further details regarding specific cooperative measures and the launch of this year’s campaign are anticipated to be announced in due course.
