Report
Patient Relief Mission (PRM) exists to improve cancer care and management for female cancer patients and their care-givers by providing hostel accommodation transport too and from Uganda cancer institute (UCI) for treatment and three meals a day to those who come from rural areas in order to receive their treatment who otherwise would have nowhere to stay in the city.
PRM was founded with the aim of ending needless suffering for cancer patients in Kampala, Uganda.
As results of Covid 19 restrictions and lockdown we could not raise enough funds to maintain patient hostel rent. However, we were fortunate to receive a donation of an acre of land where by we are preparing to raise funds to construct our own hostel to ease on cost of rent in the city of Kampala.
With funds from GlobalGiving and local supporters, PRM has embarked on visiting a local hospital (Kawolo) once a week on Saturdays to raise Cancer Awareness, give Nutritious meals supplements and Psycho-Social support as we wait for the construction of the new hostel.
Success story
Patient Relief Mission (PRM) team has reached out to over 500 patients at a local hospital (Kawolo) since the beginning of this year.
Since January we have identified 18 patients with cancer symptoms and have made them referrals to the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) for further investigations.
We have been able to give nutritious meals on five wards since January 2022 where patients and their caregivers always look forward to it.
Prayer requests
Please pray for (PRM) to get more Funds to construct hostel.
