Representing Uganda on the Global Stage in Childhood Cancer Survivorship
We are proud to share that two members of our team, Dr. Derrick Bary Abila Derrick (@BaryDerrick ), Head of Research Program, and Ms. Priscilla Nambalirwa (@NambalirwaP), recently represented the Uganda Child Cancer Foundation (UCCF) at the 5th International Symposium on Late Complications after Childhood Cancer (ISLCCC), held in Genoa, Italy, on June 4–6, 2026, at the Porto Antico venue.
Alongside world-leading experts in childhood cancer survivorship, our team presented the work UCCF is doing right here in Uganda ensuring that children who survive cancer go on to live full, healthy, and dignified lives.
We are especially delighted to celebrate Ms. Nambalirwa Priscilla, who was awarded the Certificate for Best Oral Presentation at the symposium. 🏆
This recognition is a testament to the quality of research and advocacy being carried out in Uganda and a reminder that African voices and African data belong at every global table.
Congratulations, Priscilla, you have made UCCF and Uganda proud.
Today, we were deeply honored to have met with the Chief of Defence Forces of Uganda, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba @mkainerugaba , and his wife, Charlotte Kainerugaba.
During our meeting, the CDF and his wife officially handed over a cheque of UGX 100 million from the proceeds of his 52nd Birthday Run and reaffirmed their commitment to supporting efforts aimed at improving care for children battling cancer in Uganda.
This generous contribution brings hope to many children and families and strengthens our shared commitment to ensuring that no child is left behind in the fight against cancer.
We sincerely thank General Muhoozi Kainerugaba and his Charlotte for standing with children with cancer and supporting the work of the UCCF and the @UgandaCancerIns
