Announcement on:

  

United Nation Scientific Committee for the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) Survey

 

 

Welcome and Introduction:

 

   The United Nation Scientific Committee for the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) was established in 1955 by the United Nations General Assembly to assess and report levels and effects of ionizing radiation. The UNSCEAR is launching this new round of global surveys to encourage countries to provide data on frequency of radiation use in medicine and on patient radiation doses. The UAE is officially taking part in this current UNSCEAR Survey with a high support from Ministry of Foreign Affair, Healthcare Organizations and the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR).

 

 

Knowing the patient radiation exposure and its frequency is very important input to effectively manage the radiation safety issues in hospitals.  These data also help for future research
