Its radiotherapy and quality staff reported in Cancer/Radiothérapie (2019) that after Madagascar's previous radiotherapy service stopped in 2009 for safety reasons, a private entrepreneur, with the agreement of Malagasy radiation oncologists, created a new service that has worked since March 2015, with two twin linear accelerators, a CT scanner shared with radiology, a treatment planning system, and a team of four radiographers, two medical physicists and four radiation oncologists. Newsmada reported in February 2023 that the polyclinic diagnoses cancer and treats it by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. IAEA DIRAC, with the entry last updated in 2019, lists two linear accelerators and a CT scanner.
