Ray of Hope Hospice Jinja (RHHJ) trains health workers in prevention, better diagnosis, and treatment of cancer and severe HIV/AIDS. Limited understanding about cancer and severe HIV/AIDS among health workers in the districts remains a hindrance in accessing diagnosis and treatment, referrals for palliative care, and overall prevention of disease.












Since 2019 RHHJ has trained more than 350 health workers in basic palliative care (3 day course) and has given numerous continued medical education sessions in health centers all over the Busoga Region. This has increased palliative care referrals in the Busoga Region and Buikwe district. RHHJ continues to offer training in screening of cervical and breast cancer for government health center staff. We hold regular refresher training for screeners at our main office and partner with local clinics to facilitate training for their staff on various topics. We hope that by ensuring healthcare workers have the knowledge they need, patients can get the care they deserve.
