Unicorn Foundation exhibits at 12th Congress WFNMB

With the generosity and support of the organisers
of WFNMB, the Unicorn Foundation was amongst close to 150 exhibitors attended
by thousands of delegates from around the world. The program encompassed the
multidisciplinary nature of the nuclear medicine profession and focused on high
level Continuing Education sessions over 13 tracks, outstanding plenary
speakers including two Nobel Laureates, leading expert faculty speakers
and opportunities for international networking with delegates from over 70
countries in the world.
