Abstract

There is limited knowledge and practice of nuclear medicine among Cameroonian physicians, representing the primary barrier to nuclear medicine integration. Targeted and strengthening medical education, investing in infrastructure, and promoting research are essential to support the integration and scale-up of nuclear medicine services in the country and comparable settings.
