Sri Lanka today sought the expertise, training and manpower from a city hospital to set up advanced treatment facilities in that country. Speaking as chief guest at the second 'World Rhenium Congress Conference' at Kovai Medical Centre and Hospital here here, the organisers, Sri Lanka Deputy Minister of Health, Faizal Cassim expressed his desire to make such advanced treatment facilities available in his country. The nuclear medicine department of KMCH has made available a novel treatment option called Rhenium 188 Lipiodol which is used for liver cancer treatment. This radio conjugate is cheaper and equally effective if not better than other available options in treating advanced liver cancers.
