Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among has officially launched the Rotary Cancer Run 2024 and donated Shs1 billion for the completion of the radiotherapy centre at St. Francis Nsambya Hospital.
Among arrived at Nsambya this morning, where she was welcomed by the hospital management and the organisers of the Rotary cancer run before touring the cancer ward and bunker site.
the Speaker commended the Rotary Cancer Run initiative in serving humanity and on behalf of Parliament, who are premium sponsors of the run, committed to supporting the project to its timely completion.
“As a people-centred Parliament, we will generously support the completion of the bunkers and we should be able to finish it as soon as possible because once completed, it will bring a smile to Nsambya Hospital, cancer patients, all the runners and Rotarians,” Among said, before undertaking to join Rotary for the sake of the bunkers.
“This morning, I attended the kickoff event for the 2024 Rotary cancer run, where I joined fellow development partners in the fight against Cancer. The funds raised will be directed towards building a radiation bunker at Nsambya Hospital. Our endeavours started way back from the construction of the Cancer Ward which is now fully functional.
I want to acknowledge the groundwork laid by my predecessor, Rt Hon Rebecca Kadaga, for initiating this campaign. I assure Parliament's full support in making such vital healthcare services accessible to our cancer patients, as well as spreading awareness about disease prevention.”
