Who We Are

A specialized force for men's health in Uganda

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.
