THERE’S HOPE AGAINST CANCER.
Founded in 2022, ACCR is a non-profit organization committed to advancing cancer control through research, education, awareness, and the law. Our mission is to explore the nature, causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of all cancers. We are dedicated to translating our research into practical legislation and policies that support cancer prevention and care in Uganda.
