Kansai Plascon Uganda donates paint to Uganda Cancer Institute’s children’s ward

The Uganda Cancer Institute’s children’s ward has received a much-needed facelift thanks to a donation from Kansai Plascon Uganda. The leading paint has provided paint and resources to refurbish the ward, creating a more welcoming and comforting environment for young patients and their families.

The donation is a significant boost to the institute’s efforts to provide state-of-the-art cancer care and create an environment conducive to healing.

Mr. Santosh Gumte, Managing Director of Kansai Plascon Uganda, expressed his company’s dedication to supporting health and wellbeing initiatives. “We are honored to be part of this initiative to enhance the environment where children receive critical cancer treatment. At Kansai Plascon, we believe in giving back to our communities, and we hope this refurbishment will make a positive impact on the children’s healing journey.”

Dr. Jackson Orem, Head of the Uganda Cancer Institute, expressed gratitude for the donation. “This generous contribution will significantly improve the atmosphere of our children’s ward, making it a more welcoming and comforting place for our young patients and their families.”

The refurbishment project is being carried out by CG Engineering Consultants, who aim to create a space that fosters hope and healing for the young patients. The project is not just about painting walls, but about creating an environment that supports the well-being of children receiving cancer treatment.

The Uganda Cancer Institute is a public medical care facility in partnership with the Ministry of Health, providing research, training, consultation, prevention, and treatment of cancer in various specialties. The institute maintains an inpatient facility with a capacity of 80 beds and attends to an average of 200 patients daily.

This donation and refurbishment project is a positive step towards improving the lives of children receiving cancer treatment in Uganda.
