The President will be joined by the Minister of Health, Aaron Motsoaledi, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi, and Gauteng Health and Wellness MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko.

The Nuclear Medicine Research Infrastructure Facility has been described as world-class and enjoys significant support from the private sector.
