The Egyptian Society of Nuclear Medicine Specialists (ESNMS) began on the first day of October 1997 by the first meeting of its ten members who wanted to establish an organization that would provide a means of communication and interaction between all sectors working in the field of nuclear medicine; namely physicians, physicists, chemists and engineers. The society was approved by the responsible government body on 9/12/97, and given the registration number 5699/2004.
The Arabic name of the society was changed in the last meeting of the general assembly. Furthermore, an additional set of goals were added to the society charter. These changes were officially sanctioned by the government licensing authority on May 27, 2000.
