Patient Relief Mission (PRM) is dedicated to improving cancer care and management for female patients and their caregivers in Uganda. We support patients who travel from rural areas to Kampala for treatment at the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) by providing safe hostel accommodation, transport to and from UCI, and three nutritious meals per day. Our mission is to reduce the needless suffering experienced by cancer patients who would otherwise have no place to stay while receiving life-saving treatment.
Project Progress and Facility Improvements With the generous support of our partners and donors, PRM has made significant progress in strengthening the infrastructure and readiness of our hostel facility
. • The administrative office has been fully improved and is now ready to serve as the operational centre for hostel management and patient coordination.
• The compound has been prepared and reinforced through the construction of additional drainage trenches to mitigate landslides during periods of heavy rainfall.
• The store and medicine room have been upgraded to safely and securely house medications intended for cancer patients.
• Additional security cameras have been installed across the facility to ensure the safety of patients, caregivers, staff, and property.
Key Achievements and Success Stories
• Successfully completed the installation of culverts to direct water flow and prevent damage and losses caused by landslides. •
Constructed protective shades around the facility to improve comfort and usability of outdoor spaces.
• Completed roofing works for both the patient hostel and staff quarters.
• Improved accessibility to the facility by grading and regularly maintaining the surrounding road network.
Looking Ahead
In the coming months, PRM will finalize work on the compound as we prepare to begin receiving patients. These efforts bring us closer to providing a safe, dignified, and supportive environment for women undergoing cancer treatment. We are deeply grateful for the continued support of our donors and partners, whose contributions make this work possible.
