An Advisory Group Consultation on the Design Requirements for Megavoltage X-Ray Machines for Cancer Treatment in Developing Countries was organized by PAHO in Washington, D.C., with the collaboration of WHO Headquarters, the IAEA, and UNIDO. The goal of this Consultation was to propose design alternatives for megavoltage x-ray units that have the potential of lower manufacturing cost, simpler design, and less frequent and costly maintenance than current electron accelerators.

"The economic and financial difficulties facing the countries evoke reflection about the effort to be made in order to optimize current investments in drugs through efficient supply systems. Storage in one of the phases of the supply process that directly influence both the quality of the product and its cost. This document provides standards for Planning, Design, and Construction, covers in detail the three phases which any engineering project must pass through. The purpose is to emphasize approaches to technical aspects, costs, and administration which will allow a project to be brought to completion, both in the anticipated amount of time and within the prepared budget.
