Mission
Our mission is to advance cancer prevention, early detection, and the improvement of the quality of life for patients and families affected by severe illness.
Rays of Hope Hospice Jinja
Founded in 2005, Rays of Hope Hospice Jinja (RHHJ) is the only specialized palliative care provider in Uganda's Busoga Region. We treat patients with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions such as cancer and severe HIV/AIDS.
​
In alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), which seeks to "ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" and achieve universal health coverage, RHHJ expanded its program in 2015 from exclusively physical pain relief symptom control to a holistic approach that addresses the wider needs of patients and their families.
Recognizing that long distances to primary care units, limited secondary and tertiary treatment facilities, inadequate drug supply, insufficient knowledge at health units, community health literacy gaps, and severe poverty create obstacles to health access, RHHJ provides comprehensive services to patients and their families, local communities, and government healthcare workers to address these challenges.
We believe that access to quality, affordable healthcare is a human right. Our mission is to achieve this goal, fostering healthier individuals, families, and communities in the Busoga Region and beyond.
