C3 Collaborating for Health was delighted to be joined by Dr. Alfred Jatho of the Uganda Cancer Institute during London Global Cancer Week 2025 (LGCW).

Dr. Jatho, Head of the Department of Community Cancer Services at the Uganda Cancer Institute, drew on his expertise in policy, health promotion, and community education to explore how cancer prevention can be strengthened through community engagement—creating informed, sustainable, and actionable interventions.

London Global Cancer Week (LGCW) is an annual event that brings together global stakeholders to address the growing burden of cancer, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access to care is limited and outcomes are poorer.

About the speaker:

Dr. Jatho studied Public Health at the International Health Sciences University, Kampala, Uganda, where he completed a BSc in Public Health. He also studied Environmental Health Science at the Mbale School of Hygiene, Makerere University, and earned a Master’s in Public Health (Health Promotion) from Uganda Martyrs University. At the doctoral level, Dr. Jatho trained in cancer prevention, early detection, and policy at the Department of Cancer Control & Population Health, National Cancer Center Graduate School of Cancer Science and Policy, South Korea, where he received his PhD in Public Health.
