PCAO is Uganda's dedicated prostate cancer advocacy organization — driving awareness, mobile screening, and policy change so no man dies from a disease that is treatable when caught early.
PCAO Prostate Cancer Advocacy Limited is a Ugandan nonprofit company incorporated and governed by a Board of Directors comprising health experts, prostate cancer survivors, private sector leaders, and advocacy specialists.
Unlike broader health organizations, PCAO is built as a specialized initiative — enabling targeted, survivor-centered programs that are culturally relevant and tailored to Uganda's socio-cultural context.
"To transform prostate cancer outcomes in Uganda through public awareness, mobile screening, survivor support, policy advocacy, and data-driven intervention."
