Today as we commemorate *International Childhood Cancer Day*, we stand with children bravely facing cancer and the families walking this journey with strength and hope. Childhood cancer affects not only the child, but the entire family physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

As Palliative care providers, we have a role to play in improving their lives. From diagnosis, palliative Care ensures effective symptom management, emotional and psychosocial support, and compassionate guidance for families navigating complex care. When integrated early alongside treatment, it enhances comfort, dignity, and overall quality of life.

Join us Tomorrow in our X Space: “Ask the Expert – Understanding Childhood Cancer” on 16th February 2026 at 6:00 PM EAT to engage with experts and be part of this great Conversation.

On 11th February 2026, PCAU held a Continuing Medical Education (CME) session at Lubaga Hospital as part of activities to commemorate the 34th World Day of the Sick.

Guided by the theme of the compassion of the Good Samaritan: loving by bearing another’s pain from Pope Leo XIV, the session brought together health workers for learning and reflection on the importance of integrating palliative care across the continuum of care for patients and their families.

The commemoration strengthened collaboration between the PCAU, Church and health institutions in promoting dignified patient centred care.

PCAU remains committed to building the capacity of health workers and mobilizing communities to ensure that no one faces serious illness and suffering alone.

Today, we join the global community in observing *World Cancer Day.
This day is a reminder of the need to improve the quality of life of people living with cancer and their families through compassionate, patient-centered care.

Cancer continues to be a major public health challenge in Uganda, with thousands of new cases diagnosed annually while more continue to linger in the communities we live in undiagnosed.
While early detection and treatment are critical, palliative care plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life, managing symptoms, and supporting both patients and their families holistically.

At PCAU we are committed to continue working with all actors to ensure that every person affected by cancer receives the care they deserve.

👉🏽 Together, we can create a difference.
Share your story and inspire others.

Under the 2026 RTH Annual Camp theme, “Growing Stronger Together,” the children are on a meaningful journey of connection, confidence-building, and personal growth.

Through well-guided group engagements, they are learning the value of teamwork, mutual respect, and supporting one another within a safe and nurturing environment strengthening relationships and reinforcing a strong sense of community.

Educational sessions on confidence and self-esteem, combined with hands-on activities such as bangle making and other indoor and outdoor practical sessions, are nurturing creativity and innovation. These experiences are helping the children discover their individual strengths, build confidence to share their ideas and talents, and develop a stronger sense of self-belief clear evidence of the camp’s positive impact on their personal development.

👉 Join us in empowering child caregivers support, partner, or follow our journey as we continue to grow stronger together.

Today, the Palliative Care Association of Uganda (PCAU), through its Road to Hope (RTH) Programme for child caregivers, officially begins the RTH Annual Camp 2026 at Kid Pioneer School, Kawuku under the Theme .

The child caregivers programme supports children from impoverished families who, due to illness within their families, take on caregiving roles for their parents or guardians. These children often provide physical care, emotional support, household management, and decision-making beyond their age, which can affect their emotional wellbeing, education, and social development. The RTH program seeks to restore hope by addressing their psychosocial needs and equipping them with skills to navigate these responsibilities in healthier ways.

The camp provides a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment enabling the children to connect, share experiences, and feel empowered through guided psychosocial support sessions and engaging indoor and outdoor activities. The children are supported to build life skills, confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and positive peer relationships, while also learning practical ways to cope with difficult situations they face at home and in their communities.

In partnership with GEN–Uganda, and Hospices, PCAU continues its commitment to creating safe spaces where children can learn, heal, and grow stronger together.

Universal Health Coverage is only universal when palliative care is accessible to everyone who needs it, when they need it. No one should face serious illness alone or in pain.

On this World UHC Day, and in a year when unaffordable health costs continue to burden our communities, PCAU reaffirms that palliative care is not a luxury but an essential service that upholds dignity, promotes equity, and improves the quality of life for patients and their families.
