This is the first hi-tech radiation system in the Mekong Delta region, which is expected to officially operate in May, the Nhan dan newspaper reported. The system, consisting of a simulation machine and a linear accelerator produced by Siemens AG, is part of a project implemented by Forincons Invest JSC and the hospital.
