‎🩺 Over 50 patients received specialized procedures and diagnostic evaluations.
‎🤝 The international experts trained our local health professionals, building long-term capacity for the region.
‎🌐 We are committed to equitable cancer care across all of Uganda.
‎"This camp was an important milestone in our efforts to decentralize specialized cancer care." - Dr. Henry Dabanja, Camp Lead.
