For decades, governments and international aid organizations have focused on eliminating epidemic diseases. This reality has rendered non-communicable disease care such as chemotherapy difficult to access and expensive in sub-Saharan Africa. Pioneering the movement to address this need, Partners In Health partnered with MASS Design Group to build East Africa's first ambulatory cancer center. Located adjacent to the critically acclaimed Butaro Hospital and Butaro Doctors' Housing projects, the center serves as the third phase in the build-out of Butaro as a global model of community-integrated, holistic healthcare.
