Radiation oncology vendor Elekta said it plans to deliver the first radiation therapy system to the Kingdom of Bhutan.
The Elekta Compact linear accelerator will be installed in August at the National Referral Hospital, the largest hospital in the country, according to the vendor. Elekta said that most of Bhutan's cancer patients -- estimated at 4,000 to 5,000 people -- currently must travel to Kolkata, India, for oncology care.
