“Archbishop Janani Luwum stood firmly for truth, justice, and the sanctity of human life. At the Uganda Cancer Institute, his courage inspires us to serve our patients with integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment—no matter the challenges we face.”Dr. Jackson Orem

Today, we concluded a successful three-day Cancer Screening and Awareness exercise, climaxing with the World Cancer Day commemoration at Nakivubo Blue Primary School.
As Uganda’s national referral centre and a regional centre of excellence, we are dedicated to decentralizing care and ensuring no Ugandan is left behind. To transform cancer survival rates, we are focused on:
✅ Awareness – Recognizing signs and symptoms early.
✅ Screening – Making routine checks a lifestyle.
✅ Action – Prompt medical consultation and access to quality care.
✅ Collaboration – Mobilizing funding and multi-sectoral partnerships.
Cancer is not a death sentence. With early detection and timely treatment, survival is possible. We call upon the government, private sector, and all communities to unite in this mission.
For every patient, for every family—let us stand together in hope and action. 🇺🇬🎗️

Today we join the World to commemorate World Cancer Day. We reaffirm our commitment to cancer prevention, early detection, and providing comprehensive patient centered care. We urge the public to prioritize cancer screening, support patients, and unite in the global fight against cancer.
