The news agency PRI, through its programme The World, has been reporting this month on cancer treatment in the developing world and in particular, the treatment of cancer in rural Uganda. At ARH, we are grateful for the in-depth coverage and applaud PRI for raising awareness about this important issue.

In considering the treatment of cancer as it relates to maternal and reproductive health in rural Uganda, ARH’s Executive Director, Francoise R. Kauzya, offered the following thoughts:

“Cervical cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer are significant health issues in Uganda. Yet, even more problematic is prostate cancer. In Uganda, there is reluctance among men to seek testing and treatment for this form of cancer. We’ll continue to raise awareness about these important health issues.”
