Summary:The overriding purpose of the National Radiology Policyis to provide a unified guiding framework for achieving quality and standardized radiological services in the country through addressing the identified key challenges and their root causes, thereby improving the functioning of radiological services.An important aspect is the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions which calls for establishment of best diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic imaging services in the country. This policy therefore will provide guidelines, which will direct the provision of diagnostic imaging services at different levels of health care delivery system for efficient and effective management of patients which consequently will improve the health status of the Malawian population.The policy is in tandem with “Health Sector Strategic Plan II 2017-2022”(HSSP II), and National Health Policy, the goal of which is to promote the quality of life of all Malawians through the delivery of an Essential Health Package. The document, will therefore guide Government, cooperating partners, and other key stakeholders in the health sector with regard to the establishment and improvement of diagnostic imaging services in the country. I wish to assure all stakeholders that the Government is strongly committed to provide the necessary leadership and enabling environment for effective and successful implementation of the policy.
