WFNMBGlobal AffairsThe field's voice in the world.
Partners
Working with the world's health and atomic bodies.
The Federation carries the specialty into the rooms where global health and radiation policy are set. Each link opens the partner's own site.
The Federation works with the IAEA on the supply of radiopharmaceuticals, dosimetry, quality assurance and technical cooperation that builds nuclear-medicine capacity in member states.
WHOWorld Health OrganizationSince 2019 the Federation has held Non-State Actor status in official relations with the WHO — the only such standing in the field of nuclear medicine. It engages on essential in-vitro and imaging diagnostics, the health workforce, and the safe and effective use of radiopharmaceuticals in the health system.
The remit
What global affairs actually means.
Not a podium, but the steady work of representation, access, standards and shared programmes: the substance behind the specialty's presence in the world.
One voice for the specialty
Speaking for nuclear medicine to international bodies and governments, so its value in diagnosis and therapy is understood by those who set health policy.
Diagnostics & therapy access
Widening access to molecular imaging and radionuclide therapy in low- and middle-income regions, working through the IAEA, member societies and partners.
Policy & standards
Global positions on training, practice and evidence, shared with national societies and regulators to raise the standard of care everywhere.
Multi-region programmes
Programmes in education, dosimetry and service development, delivered with member societies and international partners rather than imposed from the centre.
Where we work
A standing commitment to developing regions.
Much of the specialty's growth is in regions where imaging and therapy are newest and most needed. The Federation's developing-region programme concentrates education, dosimetry support and service development there, delivered with the member societies on the ground.

A distinct remit
Global Affairs concerns the Federation's relationships with international bodies and its work on access and policy. News, announcements and press enquiries are handled under Public and Media Relations. Partner descriptions here are representative; the office confirms the specific programmes and position statements before launch.
