Elekta and the IAEA have signed a partnership agreement to jointly pursue common interests, including making advanced cancer treatment available to more patients. The agreement was signed on August 28 at Elekta's headquarters in Stockholm during a three-day visit to Sweden by Dr. Grossi and IAEA representatives. The purpose of this partnership is to improve cancer treatment with the intent to close the gap in access to radiation therapy around the world.

This closer collaboration will enable a continuous dialogue and knowledge sharing in the coordination and implementation of joint efforts. Specifically, it will address low- and middle-income countries and include awareness raising activities, the development of training resources, as well as the use of digital tools to improve treatment quality and facilitate research.
