Access to early diagnosis of lymphedema remains a major barrier for thousands of Ugandans living with chronic swelling and lymphatic disorders. In response, the Lymphedema Warriors Association Uganda (LWAU) has signed a new partnership agreement with The Rehab Clinic Uganda, a center for physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

This partnership aims to bring lymphedema diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care closer to patients and communities. Through joint medical camps, education outreach, and integrated rehabilitation services, the collaboration will empower patients, caregivers, and health workers with tools for early intervention and sustainable care.
