(Complex Technology)
♣ Need more budget
♣ Need multiple, diverse tasks
♣ Need political support
♣ Need various system
♣ Need fusion or bridging of
multidisciplines
♣ Need potential leadership

Conclusion
(Current Status of NM in Developing Countries)
Different Economy, Geography, Culture
• Lack of Awareness
• Lack of Institutes
• Very Poor Facility
• Lack of Qualified Personnel
• Unable to Attend International Meeting
• Lack of Regional Cooperative Activity
Heterogeneity in NM Practice and
Scientific Activity
How to Solve?
: Need Support to Reduce Heterogeneity
• Need Cooperation
• Stimulate Scientific Activity
• Enhance Education
• Financial Support
• Increase of Awareness

Who are the responsible bodies?
• IAEA‟s statutory functions: “to encourage
and assist research on, and development
and practical application of, atomic energy
for peaceful uses (Nuclear Medicine) and
to foster the exchange of scientific and
technical information”
• National Society of Nuclear Medicine
• Government
Strategic Direction
• New way of thinking
• Rapid implementation and innovation
for tangible benefit
• Strengthening capability
• Strengthening cooperation activity
• Encouraging to be self-reliance
