Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends,
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the 5th Uganda Conference on Cancer and Palliative Care, taking place on 10th–12th September 2025 in Kampala, Uganda. Please mark your calendars for this important gathering.
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.
The conference theme “Embracing Uniqueness and Empowering Communities,” underscores the need for inclusive, patient-centered cancer and palliative care and the importance of community-led solutions (Solving African Problems with African Solutions) while also acknowledging the diversity of service providers. We assure you that it will address current challenges and emerging opportunities in our field. Expect thought-provoking sessions, interactive workshops, and valuable networking opportunities designed to inspire action and drive change.
Your participation is key to the success of this conference, and we invite you to be part of this transformative experience. Let’s come together to advance our shared mission and create lasting impact.
We look forward to welcoming you to Kampala!
