PREAMBLE
Radiotherapy is part of a way in treating cancerous cell. It used radioactive material which gives the benefit to patient’s life as malignant tissues can be minimize with external beam conducted in treatment. The usage of treatment must be in line with rules and regulation stated by Ministry of Health parallel with the requirement of Atomic Energy Licensing Act 1984. Any misuse or damage cn result in worst situation.
In this course, better understanding will be given upon the Awareness Copurse on Radiation Protection in Radiotherapy involving those whose circulate among this equipment which use radiation to minimalize cancer cells.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
