TheWorld Health Organization (WHO) conducted a Workshop on Radiation Risk Assessment in Paediatric Health Care to review current research on radiation risks following medical exposures early in life and to outline a strategy towards the development of a global research agenda. It was held in Chiba, Japan, on 17 December 2009, within the program of the third KIDS Workshop of the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS). Over 80 participants from 19 international and national agencies, international professional organizations, international and national research and scientific institutions, agreed to collaborate towards the common objective. This report summarises the presentations, discussions and collective views of the international group of experts, and does not necessarily represent the decisions or the stated policy of the WHO.
