The access gap
In some regional settings, patients may recognize a swelling or lesion but struggle to find the right procedure, the right equipment, or a clear pathway for sample submission and pathology interpretation.

Biopsy access and cancer diagnosis outside Kampala
Many patients with suspicious lesions outside major city centers need timely biopsy access, proper sample handling, and pathology-linked referral support. Kebeza’s regional pathology clinic model is designed to help close that gap.
What the model supports
Kebeza supports selected biopsy access and coordination, including punch biopsies, ultrasound-guided procedures where appropriate, sample handling, and linkage to reporting pathways.
- Selected tissue biopsy access.
- Ultrasound-guided sampling pathways.
- Sample triage and referral support.
- Connection to digital pathology and specialist review.
Why biopsy pathways matter
Cytology is powerful, but some lesions require tissue diagnosis. A regional model that combines cytology, biopsy access, and referral support can reduce delay and improve the patient pathway.
