Ideas of future strategy for the sustainable
development of the RCARO

• Md. Kabir HOSSAINScientific Officer (on study
  leave)
• Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission
• PhD Student
• Kyushu University, Japan

2
Experiences in RCARO

• Duration From July 1, 2005 to Oct. 27, 2005
• My study at RCARO-
• Survey on the medical applications of radiation
  technologies in the RCA member states
• Survey the regional and international development
  and financial organizations related to human
  health activities

Future Strategy for Sustainable Development of
RCARO

• The largest group of nuclear medicine personnel
  are technicians responsible for the routine
  performance of clinical studies
• But unfortunately, in many member countries where
  good training facilities are not available and do
  not usually have the opportunity of overseas
  training
• RCARO may arrange distance assisted training as
  platform of RCA for Medical technician,
  technologist, oncologist etc. for ultimate
  development of patient outcomes through improved
  diagnosis and/or treatment.
• Provide up-dated study material for
  increasing/improving the number and quality of
  trained nuclear medicine technologists in the RCA
  Member States
• As a result the quality of healthcare in the
  region will be enhanced by the upgraded and
  standardized educational qualifications and
  resultant higher motivation of nuclear medicine
  technicians.

Future Strategy for Sustainable Development of
RCARO

• The RCA regional Office now has several new
  programmes
• Post-doctoral Fellowship Training
• KAIST Masters Degree Course
• KOICA Nuclear Medicine Internship Training
• These will enhance to support the RCA Member
  States in their nuclear capability building as
  well as their nuclear knowledge preservation
  endeavours.
• Apart from the aforementioned programmes RCARO
  may also take initiatives for arranging-
• The Ph.D. programme together with KAIST Masters
  Degree Course

5
Future Strategy for Sustainable Development of
RCARO

• The project- RCA/UNDP Post-tsunami Environment
  Impact Assessment, initiated by RCARO
• RCARO may elaborate this program for the
  supporting of MS
• RCARO as platform of MS, may enhance the IAEA/RCA
  projects as the demand of MS

6
Model Laboratories at RCARO or MSs

• RCARO may build up model laboratories regarding
  QA/QC for the member state countries
• Member State Countries may also take attempt to
  do so in respect of their expertise

7
Responsibility of Member State Countries

• In my presentation, I mentioned above-
• we need many skilled personnel to improve the
  health care, nuclear technology development etc.
• We need training, higher study, advanced training
  materials etc. for end users
• Who will be the responsible for those?
• How can we achieve those?

8
Responsibility of Member State Countries (cont.)

• The RCA projects are categorized in several
  Thematic Sectors-
• Agriculture, Lead country-China
• Health, Lead country-Japan
• Industry, Lead country-India
• Environment, Lead country-New Zealand
• Energy/Research Reactor, Lead country-Korea and
• Radiation Protection ,Lead country-Australia
• So these lead countries are requested to consider
  our demands regarding their respective areas.
• This presentation reveals only my opinion/ideas
  for sustainable development of RCARO
