Human Health- Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT)

In response to the developing world's cancer crisis, the IAEA established the Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT) in 2004 to fully realize the public health impact obtained through global partnerships in cancer control and technology transfer in radiation medicine. PACT's vision strives for global partnerships to confront the cancer crisis in developing countries.
