Rotary WHIS-Rad: an humanitarian international project for basic radiology development.
Some Rotary Clubs support the World Health Organisation's WHIS-Rad program, a program aimed at spreading the diffusion of dedicated radiological equipment in developing countries. These X-ray units, an evolution from the BRS (Basic Radiological System) standard are easy to install and use, safe, affordable, especially assembled for use in extreme environmental and logistic conditions, and guarantee high quality output. We describe the pilot action undertaken by Rotary Club Bergamo Città Alta, the first European club to undertake such action.
