While only five countries—, , , , and the —had been producing radioactive isotopes in the world, has proven to turn the tides for nuclear medicine. Due to hard work, extensive research, and innovation, has taken the lead in the world’s global market for radioisotopes, producing four radioisotopes that destroy cancer cells. These four radioisotopes include: Molybdenum-99, Strontium-89, Gadolinium-152, and Lutetium-177, which are in and have proven to revolutionize nuclear medicine.
Critics believe that nuclear medicine is the most successful industry when it comes down to treating diseases and conditions that many have believed to be incurable. Because of the need for diversifying products and the safety of isotope production, position in this market plays a significant role. In order to save even more lives, had worked to extend with other countries, promoting international cooperation and medical advancements all over the world.
