Established in 1999, and registered as a Professional Association and National NGO in 2003, PCAU was formed to support and promote the development of palliative care providers throughout Uganda. As its National Coordinator, Rose is responsible for implementing PCAU's palliative care initiatives in all 80 Ugandan districts, 35 of which have some type of palliative care and 10 of which now have well-developed programs. Her small teams of volunteers, nurses and nurse practitioners are making inroads into village healthcare, both directly and sometimes indirectly by being "consultants" to the local Native Healers who are beginning to recognize that western medicine can often help their patients. A native Ugandan, Rose lives, along with her family, in a small village just outside the capital city of Kampala. Her nursing education includes extended study in England and additional coursework that enables her to prescribe medications to alleviate and manage the pain of terminally ill patients. |

The alarm must be sounded now more than ever, as the crisis threatens to derail any development plan for the future of the DRC."

The film will be followed by a discussion hosted by the director.
