The Director General was able to view firsthand the impact of his Rays of Hope initiative to deliver better access to cancer care in low- and middle-income countries.

The IAEA is also supporting the Brazilian Navy in its goals to increase medical services for remote communities located in the Amazon River delta. Two mammography machines have been installed on the ships ‘Soares de Meirelles’ and ‘Carlos Chagas’, allowing these communities to have access to breast cancer diagnostic services for the first time in history.
The many positive socioeconomic impacts of nuclear applications were also covered at an event co-hosted by the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN), particularly achievements in combating cancer and hunger.
