All political parties in the country have been rallied and urged to join the fight against the scourging cancer and diabetes in the country by supporting Mr. Ssenfuka Novelties against the same.
Led by the former Nakawa lord councilor on the National Resistance Movement NRM ticket Buruhan Byaruhanga said the advocates emphasized the need to unite irrespective of their political affiliations since they are in a battle which cannot be won by an individual but rather team work with each person having a role to play.
Byaruhanga says, they are aware of the difficulties that Diabetes and cancer have caused not only local population but also world over thus owing each other a duty of casting out doubts in those are skeptical of the discovered cure for these feared diseases.
“I urge The National Resistance Movement (NRM), Democratic party (DP), Forum for democratic changes (FDC), National Unit Platform (NUP), Conservative party (CP), and JEEMA political parties to add their voices on the existing one calling for an accelerated certification of Mr. David Ssenfuka’s herbal novelties and the president Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni to accord a speedy accreditation of his herbal novelties for everyone to access.” Byaruhanga said”.
Godfrey Asiimwe former lord Councilor and deputy speaker Lubaga division says, It is their duty as NRM to sound the trumpet of hope for the hopeless, and spell courage to the fearful that a cure exists in the country discovered under the NRM regime which has defeated technologically more advanced countries.
“ We also have a duty to show the doubters that the condemned have had a second lease of life and a duty to testify, that life spans of the frail have been elongated but also to spread the gospel of hope for the world over.” Said Asiimwe
Justine Buchanan, reigning chairperson NRM’s Rubaga district says they would like to equally express their gratefulness to some nationals who have been instrumental in popularizing traditional medicine such as Prof. Peter Ogwang.
“We would in a special way wish to thank senior citizens who were led by former chief Justice Wako Wambuzi, Hon. Kasole Lwanga, DP president Nobert Mao who have come out to show solidarity with our own David Ssenfuka’s herbal heroic, ” Justine added”.
They have now appealed to President Y.K. Tibuhaburwa Museveni and all Ugandans in general especially conventional science practitioners to support innovators in traditional medicine to uplift their discoveries for the common good.
*Diabetes*
According to World Health Organization ( WHO), 2020, Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Hyperglycaemia, or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the body’s systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.
In 2014, 8.5% of adults aged 18 years and older had diabetes. In 2019, diabetes was the direct cause of 1.5 million deaths and 48% of all deaths due to diabetes occurred before the age of 70 years.
Between 2000 and 2016, there was a 5% increase in premature mortality rates (i.e. before the age of 70) from diabetes. In high-income countries the premature mortality rate due to diabetes decreased from 2000 to 2010 but then increased in 2010-2016. In lower-middle-income countries, the premature mortality rate due to diabetes increased across both periods.
