@MAGEZIKIRIINJJU @IrlEmbUganda @PCAUganda @MinofHealthUG @GovUganda Dr Anne, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee is one of Uganda's living heros. From 1993 when Dr Anne set foot in Uganda, she has dedicated her life advocating better access to pain relief medications for terminally ill patients. Ugandan government recognises her contributions.

[Kamara Daniel @NutritionistKD]

Many palliative care facilities operate with limited supplies, staff, and equipment. This makes the case for targeted funding that supports patients directly and strengthens the systems that care for them with dignity and comfort.

Resource mobilisation is central to making palliative care accessible for every Ugandan in need. This article can explain why the Dr. Anne Merriman Fund was created and how it can channel support to hospices, units, and patients.

[Palliative Care Association of Uganda (PCAU) @PCAUganda]

Uganda stands as Africa's leading country in palliative care development and remains the only African country classified at the advanced level globally.

Yet more than 500,000 Ugandans require palliative care every year, while many still struggle to access the support they need.
Today, the handover of 11 ambulances strengthens efforts to close this gap and bring quality care closer to patients, families, and communities across the country. -@ConsueloGrace the General Secretary PCAU Board

Leadership matters when it translates into access, dignity, and compassionate care for all.
