We are proud to be the ATOM Focal Point organization in Uganda, supporting equitable access to quality cancer medicines and diagnostics through country-led, coordinated action.
As the ATOM Focal Point in Uganda, ACCR convenes stakeholders, coordinates efforts, and ensures the coalition’s work translates into sustainable impact for patients.
ACCR works closely with a diverse range of partners, including the Ministry of Health, Uganda Cancer Institute, World Health Organization, National Health Laboratory & Diagnostic Services (NHLDS), Joint Medical Stores, clinicians, civil society groups, and patient organizations. Together, we drive collaborative, system-wide solutions to improve access to cancer care.
The Access to Oncology Medicines (ATOM) Coalition Initiative supports national efforts to remove systemic barriers across the cancer care continuum, ensuring meaningful impact for patients. Globally led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), ATOM brings together governments, technical agencies, civil society, and private sector partners.
Key Activities in Uganda:
Country-led coordination for equitable access to cancer medicines.
Stakeholder engagement across government, civil society, clinicians, and patient organizations.
Capacity building and data-driven implementation.
True progress in cancer care demands that we bridge research with real-world access, that we design innovative solutions for all people, not just a few.
We thank all partners for their leadership and collaboration. We look forward to continued engagement as ATOM moves into the implementation phase.
