This three-year project is carried out in a consortium form with AISPO and POF, cofinanced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE).

Objectives

- Improve services for the prevention, early detection and treatment of cancer of the cervix, uterus, and breast and chorion carcinoma at Nsambya Hospital in Kampala

Beneficiaries

The female population of Kampala, referring to Nsambya Hospital, are approximately 35,000 women. In 2014 there were three training missions on the medical and nursing staff, with the support of a surgeon, an oncologist, a radiologist and some students.
