Recommendations on Health Care and Medical Monitoring to the governments of Belarus, Russian Federation and Ukraine Chernobyl Forum Vienna 6-7 September 2005 Drs M. Repacholi, Z. Carr World Health Organization HQ - Geneva, Switzerland

Chernobyl Forum Vienna 6-7 September 2005  Continue annual medicals, including cardiovascular exams, on ARS survivors  Reconsider medical follow-up of persons exposed to < 1 Gy. Such follow-up programs are very unlikely to be cost-effective  Use funds saved to improve general health care programs  Continue thyroid cancer screening for adults exposed as children, but evaluate this at intervals for cost-benefit and expected number of cases  Maintain high quality cancer registries to assist allocate public health resources and research

Chernobyl Forum Vienna 6-7 September 2005  Monitor incidence rates of childhood leukaemia in highly exposed populations.. increases may yet occur  Continue eye examinations in highly exposed populations ; new information on radiation-induced cataracts at lower doses may come  Continue local registers on reproductive effects; may not be useful for research but may reassure the population  Inform local populations of the Forum results, including through health care professionals

Chernobyl Forum Vienna 6-7 September 2005 Some key questions to follow-up  What will be the incidence of various cancers in highly exposed Chernobyl populations (emergency workers and resident of highly contaminated territories)?  Will there be an excess risk of thyroid cancers in adults?  What are the uncertainties in the estimates of thyroid doses?  What is the role of radiation on the induction of cardiovascular disease? Studies should be conducted under a joint protocol with the 3 affected countries participating cooperatively.  What is the effect of high doses of radiation on the immune system (particularly in ARS survivors)?

Chernobyl Forum Vienna 6-7 September 2005 WHO will continue to participate in activities related to the health consequences and research. The Chernobyl Forum's goals of providing scientifically sound information and recommendations to the affected governments on how to provide more effective health care is a good model that should be used for other large accident areas
