At Gulu Regional Cancer Centre in Gulu City, patients continue to face the burden of referrals and transport to Kampala due to the lack of radiotherapy services.
Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, is an effective but costly method of treating cancer, using high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Approximately 30% of all patients who visit the centre require radiotherapy but are instead referred to Kampala for treatment.
