Palliative Care For Uganda is a volunteer staffed organization to support the development and delivery of palliative care to rural communities in Uganda. The organization raises money and obtains supplies that are donated to hospitals and clinics in Uganda that serve rural populations. These donations are used solely for the administration, delivery, and maintenance of local palliative care programs that are hospital or clinic based in Uganda. This includes providing medical supplies, education, and support of personnel as well as setting up self-sustaining programs to reduce the suffering of people in these Ugandan communities and villages.
