Proposal for the Strategic Action Plan:
Dr. Younis from Pakistan
Dr.
Younis gave a presentation on Unique Case
of nuclear medicine in the Asia region,
establishment of mutual cooperation between
countries and the proposal for the role
of the ARCCNM. Dr. Younis mentioned that
ARCCNM has to play its role for being a
forum of Asian countries where BNMDs and
SNMDs come together. He also felt that without
the help of ARCCNM, it is difficult to establish
a mutual cooperation for the promotion of
Nuclear Medicine between the countries of
Asian region. He commented that the ARCCNM
has to play its umbrella role by gathering
national societies of Nuclear Medicine and
later assisting and pursuing these societies
in accomplishing the tasks.
• Please

for the Proposal from
Dr.
Younis.

Dr.
Dondi, head, nuclear medicine section, IAEA
gave a special proposal referring to collaboration
with IAEA. He mentioned that it is bit complicated
to identify regarding the role of IAEA for
the developing and underdeveloped countries.
However, he suggested that EANM program
through technical cooperation is one of
the efficient ways to make documentation
of the ARCCNM and ASNM. He also informed
that the IAEA needs database of the nuclear
medicine professionals. Dr. Dondi also emphasized
on the future communication channel between
IAEA and the ARCCNM regarding their activities.
Further, he added that once the IAEA gives
a proposal to the ARCCNM, the Organizing
Committee of the ARCCNM include the proposal
in its agenda, and the committee will make
a decision through the internal discussion.
