The Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS) has developed an indigenous nuclear medicine kit, The HinduBusinessLine has reported. INMAS is the medical division of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The kit will ensure protection from serious injury and aid faster healing of wounds due to nuclear warfare or radioactive leakage. The kit has been developed after 20 years of work.
The kit has 25 items which include radioactive protectors which can absorb 80-90 per cent of radiation, nerve gas agents, bandages that absorb radiation as well as tablets and ointments. The same kit was being imported from abroad for higher prices, according to INMAS Director AK Singh.
These kits can be made available for civilians at a later stage, according to medical doctors at All India Institute of Medical Sciences. “Such medicines will help everyone and not just soldiers. This will also help the victims affected in terrorist attacks”, head of Trauma Centre at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rajesh Malhotra, has remarked on the development.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
