"I am deeply grateful to the Government of Uganda for funding my medical treatment. I have recovered well and am finally heading home. I would like to thank the Hon. Minister of Health, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng, and request her to extend my sincere appreciation to H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for his unwavering support of our health sector. As I leave, I urge the public to start trusting our own Ugandan doctors; their expertise is world-class." — Mr. Sande Stephen

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. 🇺🇬🎗️
