Much-needed cancer care support in Liberia is set to increase. Today, with IAEA’s Rays of Hope support, we celebrated the groundbreaking of the country’s only radiotherapy facility. We are helping establish it, starting with a mammography unit and training to bring life-saving care to those who need it most. More support will soon be on the way.
In meetings with President Joseph Nyumah Boakai, Acting Foreign Minister Cllr. Deweh Grey, Health Minister Louise Kpoto, and with several other ministers at the Environmental Protection Agency, we agreed there is great potential ahead. Beyond cancer care, we are also strengthening food security through Atoms4Food, reinforcing radiation safety, supporting sustainable water management, as well as Liberia’s national energy strategy.
As a marine country, Liberia faces ocean acidification and plastic pollution. Nuclear science, including support through our NUTEC Plastics, can help protect its coasts and communities.
There is much more we can do together. The IAEA is here, ready to continue supporting Liberia’s development in all its aspects.
