The Federation aims to run an extensive Education Programme for developing countries, both on-site and on-line. The WFNMB works with member societies (e.g. SNMMI and EANM) to offer educational programmes, products and information to help individual nuclear physicians stay current and provide the best possible nuclear medicine practice to the public.
Primary Strategies:
Assume responsibility for management of some regional/national workshops to assure continuity and educational quality.
-
Offer educational resources online
-
Work with the SNMMI, EANM, IAEA and others to support distribution of relevant educational materials worldwide
-
Provide educational materials for developing countries (e.g., free copies of journals), primarily via the Internet
-
Encourage companies to support establishment of permanent QA labs for teaching
-
Form partnerships with existing entities to develop educational resources that don’t duplicate what already exists
-
Guidelines: Disseminate established Guidelines for developing countries, taking into account practice differences between various countries, to enhance the appropriateness of practice, improve the quality of nuclear medicine, lead to better patient outcomes, improve cost-effectiveness and identify required areas of research
-
Website: In addition the website will be indicating the scope of our activities. One of our constant and major efforts with the website will be to stimulate and encourage communication among colleagues and their societies. It is our hope that this site will grow to be a major link for all nuclear medicine professionals.

Journey of WFNMB & its Member Countries: Fusion & Scintillation
Editors: G. Gnanasegaran, L. Louw, J. Prior, F. Lamoureux, S.Frangos
Responsible person on behalf of WFNMB: Gopinath Gnanasegaran
We would be grateful if our member societies could contribute a chapter about their society (1000-1500 words).
By contributing to this book, we are not just documenting our journey, but also creating a legacy for the future generation to remember and cherish. Each society's story is a vital part of this legacy.
The chapter should cover
1. History of your society and their founders
2. Historical landmarks/achievements since the inception of the society
3. Current Members/Membership, the structure of leadership, Annual meetings, etc
4. Residency/training program in Nuclear Medicine for physicians, physicists, techs, radio pharmacists, etc.
5. Current state of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine (number of departments, SPECT and PET cameras, procedures and therapies performed).
6. Current trends/Challenges
7. Memorable photos (5-10) and interesting facts
8. Table: Historical landmarks (year and Landmarks)
9. References
Deadline for submission: 15th December 2024

Upcoming Event(s)
Invitation to ISR/WFNMB Webinar “Strengthening Medical Imaging Capacity”
Date & Time: 25 March 2025, 13:00-14:30 CET
The International Society of Radiology (ISR) and the World Federation of Nuclear Medicine and Biology (WFNMB) cordially invite you to a webinar to discuss why a WHA Resolution on Strengthening Medical Imaging Capacity is needed, how it will impact member states and how NGOs and international organisations will support its implementation.
The webinar will be held on 25 March 2025, 13:00-14:30 CET via Zoom.
It will bring together member states, NGOs, international organisations, lead authors of the Lancet Oncology Commission on Medical Imaging and Nuclear Medicine, the Lancet Oncology Commission on Radiotherapy and Theranostics, the Lancet Onoclogy Commission on Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as other stakeholders with an interest in upscaling medical imaging globally.
The webinar programme and registration are available at https://imagingcommission.org/events/
We very much hope to be able to welcome you to this important webinar in support of the WHA Resolution on Strengthening Medical Imaging Capacity recommended by the WHO Executive Board for adoption at the WHA78 in May.
