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. 🇺🇬🎗️
