Mirion Launches Philanthropic Partnership with RAD-AID International
On November 1, 2023, Mirion proudly announced its philanthropic partnership with RAD-AID International, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing radiology and radiation safety in 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. Embarking on this philanthropic journey embodies the Mirion mission: to harness our unrivaled knowledge of ionizing radiation for the greater good of humanity.
“Since 2008, RAD-AID has brought radiology capabilities, including equipment, education and support, to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and medically underserved populations around the world,” said Daniel Mollura, MD, RAD-AID President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we continue to build upon our charitable global health outreach programs, we’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Mirion to elevate our radiation safety and quality assurance training.”
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. Mirion solutions from both Mirion Medical and Technologies groups are being used to train and educate medical professionals on measuring radiation exposure with the end goal of implementing quality assurance programs, quality control tests, equipment performance evaluations, and shielding assessments. Solutions include the Instadose®+ and DMC 3000™ dosimeters, as well as the ATS 539 ultrasound and CT ACR 464 phantoms.
“We are excited to partner with RAD-AID to address global healthcare disparities and help safeguard those who are providing and receiving care,” said Thomas Logan, Mirion Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to leveraging our collective strengths across Mirion Technologies and Mirion Medical to support RAD-AID’s mission by empowering healthcare providers with the tools they need to save lives and improve patient outcomes.”
The teams at Mirion look forward to providing further updates as our partnership progresses.
