We are honored to share a pivotal moment in our journey to improve lymphedema care in Uganda and across Africa.

Recently, we had the profound privilege of spending time with Professor Christine Moffatt, a globally respected expert in lymphatic health and chronic wound care. As a pioneer in lymphedema research and education, her insights and passion are shaping the global landscape of care for people living with lymphatic diseases.

This encounter was more than a meeting it was a catalyst for powerful collaborations.

New Partnerships Forged
Together with Ehud Disability Foundation, Ruhepai, and the Lymphedema Warriors Association Uganda (LWAU), we are expanding a united front for improved healthcare delivery for lymphedema patients in Uganda. These partnerships are rooted in shared values of inclusion, advocacy, and sustainable access to treatment.

Supporting Patients with Medical Supplies
In a tangible show of solidarity, medical supplies were donated to several lymphedema patients a critical step toward relieving the burden of this lifelong condition. Access to proper compression garments and hygiene products can significantly improve quality of life for those affected.

This is not just a win for our organizations, but a beacon of hope for thousands living with undiagnosed and untreated lymphedema in Africa. We are committed to amplifying awareness, promoting early detection, and ensuring that lymphedema treatment in Uganda becomes more accessible and effective.

Looking Ahead
With the support of global experts and local leaders, our mission grows stronger. As we continue building momentum, we invite more partners to join us in transforming lymphedema care in Africa.

Together, we can ensure that no patient is left behind.
