More than 1,000 participants gathered Saturday in Kyotera for a breast cancer awareness event organized by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Women, students and health workers filled streets and the Kalisizo playground to promote plant-based diets as cancer prevention. Uganda reports 21.3 breast cancer cases per 100,000 people annually, with most diagnoses occurring at advanced stages.
Juliet Namagembe, a local mother, described how dietary changes helped her manage early-stage breast cancer through increased vegetable consumption. Member of Parliament John Paul Mpalanyi Lukwago pledged continued support for community health education programs. The rally forms part of PCRM's global campaign promoting four prevention strategies: plant-based eating, regular exercise, limited alcohol consumption and healthy weight maintenance.
