There are 35,000 new cases of cancer in Uganda, with 22,000 resulting in death. Late diagnosis is why they die and so over the years, we have partnered with hospitals and health camps to combat this cancer, and we aim to establish a cancer center in Nsambya for radiotherapy, with a funding gap of Ug.Shs 9 billion. The Cancer Center will be unveiled by 2027, with 3 billion allocated this year. We invite many partners to come on board by getting a kit your will help us reach this milestone.
