Welcome Message from Dr. Jackson Orem and Mark Donald Mwesiga
It is with great enthusiasm and anticipation that we welcome you to the 5th Uganda Conference on Cancer and Palliative Care taking place from September 10 to 12, 2025 at Speke Resort Munyonyo. This event promises to be a landmark occasion, bringing together an exceptional gathering of professionals, experts, and advocates from around the world. Our collective focus will be on exploring and addressing the most pressing challenges in cancer care and palliative care within Uganda and the broader African context.
This year’s theme, “Embracing Uniqueness and Empowering Communities,” encapsulates the core mission of this conference: to foster collaborative, inclusive, and sustainable approaches to tackling the complex issues surrounding cancer and palliative care. This year’s theme was carefully chosen to reflect our collective commitment to ensuring that cancer and palliative care services are inclusive, patient-centered, and accessible to everyone regardless of socio-economic status, age, cultural background, geographical location, or even displacement as refugees.

Welcome Remarks from the Conference Chairs
Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends,
Over the years, we have made significant progress in cancer treatment and palliative care in Uganda and across the region. This conference has evolved into a crucial platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and innovation, bringing together clinicians, researchers, policymakers, advocates, and stakeholders committed to improving the lives of those affected by cancer and in need of palliative care.
As we gear up for discussions later this year, we look forward to sharing groundbreaking research, exchanging best practices, and exploring innovative approaches to enhance patient care and strengthen health systems. Beyond the science, we will listen to inspiring stories of resilience and impactful work shaping the future of cancer and palliative care.
