Uganda’s Rays of Hope Hospice shifted from end-of-life care to prevent cancer, screening nearly 29,000 women and vaccinating over 47,000 girls since 2018.
Rays of Hope Hospice Jinja in Uganda has shifted from end-of-life care to focus on preventing and treating cervical and breast cancers, screening nearly 29,000 women and vaccinating over 47,000 girls since 2018.
The change, driven by data showing over 60% of female cancers were preventable, has helped reduce late-stage diagnoses and doubled patient care to over 1,500 annually by 2025.
Despite initial skepticism, the model is gaining traction across Africa and India as palliative care expands into prevention and early treatment.
However, rising patient numbers due to global health funding cuts and clinic closures have increased demand, with the hospice relying on $600,000 in annual donor support to sustain its dual mission of prevention and symptom relief.
