On Friday, officially opened the Dr. Anne Merriman Memorial Room. As PCAU, we celebrate this tremendous milestone and honour a woman whose life transformed the face of palliative care. Dr. Anne believed deeply that no one should live or die in pain. With courage and compassion, she challenged injustice, influenced policy change, and inspired thousands to serve with empathy and dignity.

Her passing marked the end of an era, yet her legacy continues to live on in every patient who receives relief and comfort, and in the hearts of those she trained and mentored. Her spirit remains a guiding light reminding us each day of her timeless message: palliative care is a human right.

This memorial room stands as a testament to her vision, her unwavering dedication, and the countless lives she touched. Through this space, her life’s mission continues to shine brightly for generations to come.

October is a designated Chemotherapy Safe Handling Awareness Month under the Global Healthcare Provider Support Initiative (GHPSI), where the Palliative Care Association of Uganda [PCAU] is proud to serve as the national grantee in partnership with the American Cancer Society & Ministry of Health - Uganda
Today, we celebrate the Uganda Cancer Institute one of the GHPSI implementing institutions, for its commitment to strengthening chemotherapy safety and quality improvement practices. Through structured learning sessions and awareness activities, 50 clinical and support staff were trained to enhance knowledge, promote safe handling practices, and ensure a safer environment for both healthcare providers and patients.
We commend UCI for its continued dedication to improving cancer care delivery in Uganda and setting a strong example in promoting health worker safety.

Today we join the Global Commemoration of World Hospice and Palliative Care Day in partnership with Ministry of Health Uganda |
We have paused to celebrate every voice, every hand, and every heart that stands with us in championing compassion and dignity.

This year’s theme “Achieving the Promise: Universal Access to Palliative Care” reminded us that palliative care is not a privilege, but a human right. Together, we amplified this message by nurturing awareness in schools, inspiring a compassionate generation that sees and feels the needs of those in pain.

To everyone who joined us partners, volunteers, schools, media, and supporters thank you for making this commemoration a success.
Let’s carry the message beyond today, Continue advocating, Continue building a world where no one faces serious illness alone.
