   • Rolling notes
     • We noted that the LhARA initiative also addresses the "Future affordable and inclusive healthcare solutions" goal. Out initiatice aims to improving on existing facilities and should be more affordable because overall cost per patient will be reduced if throughput through high dose rate and automation is achieved. Also, the reduction on complications will reduce overall medical intervention needs.
