Mirion announced a philanthropic partnership with RAD-AID International to help bring radiology and radiation safety education and capabilities to underserved populations around the world. RAD-AID works to establish sustainable radiology programs in low-resources areas, training local health professionals and equipping them with the necessary tools and knowledge to deliver effective care. With their multidisciplinary approach, RAD-AID also brings nuclear medicine and radiation therapy programs to hospitals and facilities to educate providers on the safe use of imaging and therapeutics.

As part of the partnership launch, Mirion made an in-kind donation to RAD-AID?s Medical Physics Program supporting healthcare efforts in Guyana, Grenada, Botswana, Morocco, Nigeria and Kenya.
