Developing and Implementing a Colorectal Cancer Screening Program in Uganda: Stakeholder Perceived Barriers and Opportunities
There are substantive barriers to CRC screening program development and implementation in Uganda. However, there are signs, like the development of a cancer control plan, that suggest a shift towards strategic planning and allocation of resources at a population level for addressing the issues of cancer prevention and care, including CRC. In the meantime, efforts should prioritise primary prevention interventions such as mass education to promote CRC awareness.
