The long awaited Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner which was purchased by public contribution has arrived in the country, the Kadijah Foundation President and the Fight Cancer Founder Dr. M S H Mohamed said yesterday.

It landed in the country on Sunday at 7 PM via Qatar Airways flight QR 8642.

The High Tech state of the art machine which costs around Rs. 202 million was a “Siemens” brand product of Germany with a capacity of performing over 100 scans per month.

Dr. Mohamed said it would take nearly a month to install the machine and the patients could receive the service from March.

The construction work of the new building in Apeksh Hospital (Cancer hospital) where the PET Scanner would be mounted will be ready by February end. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)
