About Hope Ward Cancer Care:
The word “cancer” in Uganda brings thoughts of death, confusion, and stigma. People feel hopeless and impotent with nowhere to turn. There have been great strides made with HIV and infectious diseases but cancer care has fallen by the wayside. Most people avoid seeking medical help until the cancer is advanced or spread and it is too late. Even should they try, there are too few resources and the treatments are unaffordable.
In the last 3 years, Hope Ward Cancer Care has been developed
to tackle these needs. We have an excellent team, led by Dr. Helena
Nam, which has provided care and treatment for 33 charity patients this
year.
You can read more about this initiative and some patient stories on our Blog and on our Web Site.
We are hoping to raise £25,000 to enable this work to continue throughout 2010.
Please give generously.
Kind Regards and Thanks,
Kevin.
