What happens when culture meets public health? Impact at scale.

At Ananda Centre for Cancer Research (ACCR), we are deeply grateful for the invitation from the Buganda Kingdom to join thousands in celebrating the Kabaka Birthday Run and 71 years of leadership and legacy.

This year’s theme, “Men for Good Health to Save the Girl Child,” is more than a message; it is a call to action in the fight to end HIV/AIDS and associated cancers by 2030.

In Kakuuto Level V Chiefdom (Mut. V), our team engaged communities through powerful conversations on HIV and related cancers; spotlighting prevention, early detection, and screening for HIV-associated cancers. We particularly emphasized HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening as game-changing interventions to protect women and girls.

However, one message stood out: Men in the community are worried and voiced deep concern about the rising loss of life due to prostate cancer, calling for more dialogue, awareness and solutions on this issue. This is why partnerships with cultural institutions matter. They do not just gather people, they move people.

We are committed to turning these conversations into action, bringing lifesaving knowledge and treatment services closer to the communities that need them most.

We were honoured to host a visit from the Global Health Corps (GHC) team at Ananda Center for Cancer Research (ACCR)

The meeting focused on exploring initiatives that will allow members of ACCR to benefit from the training, mentorship, and learning opportunities offered by GHC. Beyond capacity building, the discussion emphasized strengthening partnerships, fostering collaboration, and sustaining meaningful engagement between our organizations.

We look forward to building on this relationship and working together to advance health research, leadership, and impact in our communities.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the first Cancer Policy Lab Uganda (CPL-U) possible 🙏🏾

We successfully hosted the first Cancer Policy Lab Uganda (CPL-U); an innovation of the ANANDA CENTRE FOR CANCER RESEARCH (ACCR).

In commemoration of International Women’s Day (8 March 2026), policymakers, researchers, clinicians, immunization experts, health financing specialists, NGOs, and advocates came together to tackle an important national policy question:

🤹 How should Uganda prioritize HPV vaccination to maximize cervical cancer prevention, equity, and value for money?

At ACCR, one of our core missions is translating evidence into action and policy. The Cancer Policy Lab Uganda was created precisely for this purpose: to create a space where evidence meets policy dialogue and collective solutions.

Participants engaged with frontier global evidence on HPV vaccination strategies, including modelling research on how different vaccination approaches can maximize cervical cancer prevention in low- and middle-income countries. Evidence discussed: https://lnkd.in/dupWCUzN

🤝 The energy in the room today was inspiring and it shows what is possible when we bring the right people together around evidence and solutions. Today’s discussions reaffirm a powerful truth as we commemorate International Women’s Day (8 March 2026),

“No woman should die from a cancer we already know how to prevent.”

📢 Stay tuned, the real work begins; -synthesizing these insights into policy recommendation briefs on HPV vaccination prioritization in Uganda.

This is just the beginning

We are pleased to announce the successful launch of the Access to Oncology Medicines (ATOM) Coalition Initiative in Uganda.

The launch marks an important milestone in strengthening equitable access to quality-assured cancer medicines and diagnostics through country-led, coordinated action. The ATOM Coalition Initiative supports national efforts to address systemic barriers across the cancer care continuum and to ensure that investments in cancer treatment deliver meaningful impact for patients.

The ATOM Coalition Initiative is led globally by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and brings together governments, technical agencies, civil society, and private sector partners. Uganda’s engagement reflects strong national leadership and a shared commitment to improving cancer care outcomes.

As the ATOM Focal Point organisation in Uganda, ACCR is proud to have convened and engaged a broad range of stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health, the Uganda Cancer Institute, the World Health Organization, National Health Laboratory and Diagnostic Services(NHLDS), Joint Medical Stores, clinicians, civial society organisations and patient organisations. This collaborative approach is central to advancing sustainable, system-wide solutions.

We thank all partners for their leadership and collaboration and look forward to continued engagement as ATOM moves into the implementation phase. .association
