Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital (Oncology Unit)

Fortportal Regional Referral

The Oncology Unit at Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital provides cancer screening, diagnosis, chemotherapy, surgical management, and palliative care for patients in the Tooro and Rwenzori sub-regions of Western Uganda. It manages common cancers such as breast, cervical, and prostate while referring patients who need advanced interventions like radiotherapy to the Uganda Cancer Institute in Mulago. By bringing oncology services closer to communities outside Kampala, the unit plays a vital role in decentralizing cancer care and easing the burden on national referral facilities.
