Sustainability isn't a luxury — it's a necessity, especially where resources are scarce. 🌏
Day 3 of IMPW 2026 brings voices from Latin America, Africa, and Asia, tackling the unique challenges of building sustainable healthcare systems in low- and middle-income countries.
From fragile infrastructure to brain drain and equitable access to life-saving radiation medicine — this is the conversation that doesn't get enough attention.

Hear from Prof. Hasin Anupama Azhari, Dr. Patricia Mora Rodriguez, and Dr. Iyobosa B. Uwadiae as they share how medical physicists are rising to the challenge.

IOMP Message on the World’s Health Day 2026

Together for Health. Stand with Science.

Medical physics is a discipline that stands at the intersection of human care and scientific rigor. Everything we do—from developing new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies to ensuring their safe and effective implementation—is guided by a shared purpose: to protect patients, advance medicine, and improve lives.Together for health means recognizing that our greatest strength lies in collaboration. Standing with science means a steadfast commitment to evidence-based practice, transparency, and continuous learning—especially within an ever‑evolving healthcare landscape.Across research institutions, classrooms, and clinics, medical physicists work side by side with physicians, technologists, engineers, and patients. By sharing knowledge, rigorously validating new technologies, and upholding the highest standards of safety and accuracy, we ensure that innovation delivers meaningful, real‑world benefit.In moments of uncertainty or change, science offers a common language and a trusted compass. By standing with science—and with one another—the medical physics community reaffirms its responsibility to lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and safeguard the health of generations to come.
