African Cancer Organisation

Kenya

The African Cancer Organisation (ACO) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the impact of cancer across Africa by promoting prevention, early detection, and public awareness. Through initiatives such as free medical camps, advocacy campaigns, and educational events, ACO aims to inform communities about the importance of regular cancer screening and early intervention. The organization also conducts surveillance research to monitor cancer trends and guide public health strategies. While ACO does not provide direct palliative care, nutritional support, or financial assistance, its efforts in awareness, advocacy, and research play a vital role in decreasing cancer incidence, suffering, and mortality on the continent.
