The Uganda Cancer Institute together with support from Pfizer are implementing a project titled“Improving breast cancer care coordination in Uganda: an apprenticeship program for primary care providers and patient navigators (IBCCC project)”
The goal of the project is to strengthen breast cancer care coordination in Uganda through training primary care providers and community patient navigators; to improve
effectiveness and efficiency of multidisciplinary care, referral pathway, and access to treatment, follow-up care and resource utilization.
The project aims are;
Train primary care providers from five regional Hospitals to facilitate early diagnosis, initial surgical treatment, timely referral and follow-up care to patients with breast cancer;
Train community patient navigators across Uganda to expand access to breast cancer screening, awareness, timely referral, treatment compliance, and provision of psychosocial support, so as to reduce patient delay;
Conduct outreaches to women living in hard-to-reach communities and deliver educational community-based talks to mobilize community participation in breast cancer screening, and early detection, so as to downstage the proportion of women presenting with advanced breast cancer;
Co-ordinate multi-disciplinary breast cancer tumour board meetings with primary care providers to increase care coordination and effective resource utilization between UCI and regional hospitals, thereby consolidating trainees’ experiences in decision making, clinical judgement and accountability regarding care for women with breast cancer in Uganda.
