In India, medical physics activities started in the mid 40s with the appointment of Dr. Ramaiah Naidu as the first medical physicist at the Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay with a responsibility to set up and operate a radon plant for cancer treatment. Today there are more than 800 medical physicists in the country.
