Our cities
Kampala
Uganda
As Uganda’s capital and primary referral hub for specialised oncology services, Kampala plays a pivotal role in shaping the country’s cancer response. The city’s decision to join C/Can signals a strong political commitment to coordinated, multi-sector action to address systemic gaps in cancer care delivery.
Unlocking cancer care with C/Can
Our work begins with a locally-led needs assessment, bringing together city stakeholders to identify gaps in cancer care through data-driven analysis. By understanding the city's unique context, we saw where intervention is most needed to achieve transformational change in cancer care.
Uncover the gaps
When a city joins the C/Can network, we start by diagnosing the city’s health system, investigating gaps in the city’s cancer care, and building a foundation for change by bringing local stakeholders together to lead the transformation.
Power the system
We co-create a strategic plan and a programme with each city driven by local priorities. Locally-led projects are executed and monitored to ensure lasting impact. When projects conclude, we support cities to sustain and accelerate their progress.
“Civil society plays a critical role in ensuring that the voices and needs of patients remain at the centre of cancer care. Through this partnership, we look forward to working alongside government, healthcare providers and communities to promote awareness, early detection and patient support across Kampala.”
