Establishment of the Northern Uganda Regional Cancer Centre is part of the UCI’s strategy to decentralize cancer care services in the country. The Centre is expected to cater to the increasing demand for cancer services in the region & reduce burden of cancer care in Kampala.

Uganda Cancer Institute is obviously overwhelmed. I feel for the patients that have to desperately wait to be attended to, but I also feel for the Drs and nurses that have to attend to all this pain on a daily. Their shortcomings notwithstanding, they are heroes
