Our Causes
Why We Exist: Fighting Stigma, Ignorance & Barriers to Care for Edema Patients in Uganda
The Dangerous lies in misinformation, keeps patients from getting the right care
Despite its severe impact, edema / lymphedema remains excluded from Uganda’s national health programs, leaving thousands without access to affordable or life-saving care.
On both the medical professional and the victims,
Too many people do not understand edema,/ lymphedema and by the time they seek help, their condition has worsened beyond repair.
The Unseen Wound beyond the physical pain, edema patients suffer emotionally and socially
During our previous medical camps, we realized that most lymphedema management materials—such as compression bandages, skincare products, and specialized footwear—are imported. The high cost makes them unaffordable for many Ugandans, leaving patients without essential care.
