A cutting-edge radiological device installed at the Children's National Medical Center in Uzbekistan promises swift and accurate cancer diagnosis in just 20 minutes.
Developed by the U.S. company General Electric, this unique positron emission tomograph (PET) system provides comprehensive scans from head to toe, revealing hidden stages of the disease.
Its ability to detect cancer at an early stage holds the potential to transform oncological diagnostics, improving treatment outcomes and reducing patient wait times.
A delegation from Uzbekistan's Ministry of Health participated in a forum in Memphis, USA, from April 12 to 13. The purpose of their involvement was to prepare for the launch of the Global Platform for Access to Childhood Cancer Medicines (GPACCM), a pioneering initiative.
This platform is designed to ensure that around 120,000 children in 50 low- and middle-income countries have access to safe, effective, and high-quality cancer treatments by 2027, without suffering from financial burdens.
The initiative's formation was initially announced on December 13, 2021, in collaboration between the World Health Organization (WHO) and the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in the United States.
