The Palliative Care Association of Uganda (PCAU) is rebuilding compassionate communities across Uganda through a health promotion approach to palliative care.
We are empowering caregivers, community members, and everyone who comes into contact with patients to provide care, support, and dignity where it is needed most.

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.
