Path of Logic facilitated the transition of pathology record keeping from paper to an electronic system which generates speedy reports and acts as a repository of results for the Mbarara University of Science and Technology. Since then, the system has been integrated into multiple healthcare systems across Uganda.
Coming in 2025
We will be working with communities in Southwest Uganda to distribute an animated film to increase awareness about breast cancer and teach breast-self exams to women. We’re addressing the public health problem of delayed diagnosis of breast cancers. One big barrier to care of breast cancer in Uganda is the lack of knowledge and understanding about diagnosis and treatment.
In 2022, we helped to establish a biopsy clinic that will help streamline care for women who have clinical symptoms of breast cancer. The film hopes to encourage women to seek care at the free clinic and improve survival by fast and accurate testing.
