After the completion of the state-of-the-art cancer institute at Nsambya Hospital expected in 2021, Rotary has announced plans to scale the plan to cover the four major regions in the country.
“We have plans to build similar centres in four other major regions of the country to ensure that services are nearer to people. We plan to start with one in the North and another in South Western Uganda,” said Dennis Juuko, the President Rotary Naalya.
“In addition, we are signing MoUs with Kenyatta and Nairobi Hospitals to train our different professionals who will be serving the cancer centre,” he added.
This year’s Rotary Cancer run is sponsored by Centenary Bank and will take place on Sunday, August 26 at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds and 33 other towns countrywide.
Kits for the run are available at Shs25000 at Game Stores Lugogo, Capital Shoppers, Rotary Office on 9th Floor NIC Building, Bulange Mengo, select Centenary Bank branches and Airtel shops countrywide.
