GENEVA, Switzerland: Jamaica is set to receive technical support from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as the Government moves to expand cancer care services across the island over the next two years.
Minister of Health and Wellness Dr Christopher Tufton made the announcement following a technical meeting with the Vienna-based agency on the margins of the 79th World Health Assembly currently under way in Geneva.
According to Tufton, an IAEA technical team will visit Jamaica in the coming months to assess the country’s existing cancer treatment infrastructure and outline a programme for expansion.
