“The irradiation centre will give Malaysia an opportunity to create even more prosperous, safe and sustainable future for all, as these technologies will bring great changes to our social and economic environment. It will contribute to development of medical, industrial and agricultural spheres of Malaysia, thus drastically improving the quality of life” – said Dr. Zulkafli Ghazali, Chairman of BGM, – “We appreciate support of Rosatom and hope for further development of Malaysia-Russia relations”.
The signed document outlines certain stages of the project development, from feasibility studies to construction and commissioning. It also stipulates the decision of Rusatom Healthcare and BGM to prepare and sign project contracts upon completion of all necessary procedures.
“Given Malaysia's leadership in exporting disposable medical products to foreign markets, I am confident that our cooperation will be beneficial “, noted Denis Cherednichenko, CEO of Rusatom Healthcare.
