Initiatives to Support Developments in Radiation Oncology Drive Europe Radiation Oncology Market
The governments and organizations are introducing missions and programs for the quick and effective treatment of cancer with the use of radiotherapy. In September 2023, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced the "Rays of Hope"-flagship cancer initiative for the development of radiotherapy infrastructure. In developed countries such as the US, Germany, UK, France, and others nearly all patients have access to radiotherapy. In middle-income countries 60% of the patient population and 1 in 10 patients in low-income countries have access to radiotherapy. The "Rays of Hope Cancer Care for All" focuses on the development of radiotherapy services all over the world. Since, launch of the initiative, various countries have received radiotherapy equipment and training required to operate the equipment for timely diagnosis and treatment. All the five continents are involved in the initiative and contributed US$ 45.5 million (Euro 42 million) for the initiative and the private sector invested US$ 768,902 (Euro 710,000) for support. Moreover, manufacturers such as Elekta signed a partnership with IAEA for the improvement of cancer treatment by providing radiotherapy equipment around the world. Additionally, IAEA started training healthcare professionals from different field this includes 14 radiation oncologist, 13 medical physicist, 4 nuclear medicine technologist, 7 nuclear medicine physician, 7 radiopharmacist, 16 radiation therapy technologist, 7 oncology nurses, 4 medical imaging technologist, and 7 radiologists. Therefore, surging initiatives for radiotherapy is expected to increase the penetration in low-income countries along with trained professionals and development in radiotherapy infrastructure is driving the growth of radiation oncology market in coming years.
