The Qatar Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has issued Decision No. 30 of 2025, approving the “Guide to Radiation Practice Standards in Nuclear Medicine.” This initiative aims to enhance the radiation safety framework in the healthcare sector by regulating radiation practices and the safe use of radioactive materials and devices. The guide, developed in accordance with national and international standards, will serve as a reference for health facilities and radiation professionals, ensuring compliance with safety protocols recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the World Health Organization. This decision is part of a broader effort to strengthen radiation safety regulations, following previous legislation regarding the transportation of radioactive materials. The ministry is committed to advancing its oversight framework in response to scientific and technological developments to protect both public health and the environment in Qatar.
