Ibi byatangarijwe mu nama y’iminsi ibiri yateraniye i Kigali kuva ku wa 13-14 Kamena, ikaba ihuje abaturutse muri Afurika y’Iburasirazuba, BioNTech n’abandi banyuranye, bagamije gushakira hamwe uburyo haboneka ishoramari mu by’imiti n’inkingo, rizashamikira kuri uru ruganda kugira ngo rubashe kubera ingirakamaro uyu mugabane.

Umunyamabanga wa Leta muri Minisiteri y’Ubuzima mu Rwanda, Dr Yvan Butera, yashimiye abafatanyabikorwa ku musanzu wabo ku Rwanda, anasaba ubufatanye mu gukemura ibibazo bigomba kwigwaho birimo ibikorwa remezo, ubushobozi bw’amafaranga, ubumenyi muri tekiniki ndetse n’ibijyanye n’ubushakashatsi.

Ku munsi wa mbere w’iyi nama habonetse amakompanyi mpuzamahanga akora mu bijyanye n’ubuvuzi, azashora imari mu Rwanda agakorana n’urwo ruganda.

Muri ayo harimo UVU Bio, ikomoka muri Afurika y’Epfo izobereye mu by’ikoranabuhanga mu buvuzi kuri uyu mugabane.

Iyi kompanyi yashyize umukono ku masezerano y’ubufatanye n’u Rwanda azashyiraho Laboratwari y’iyi kompanyi izaba ibarirwa mu gaciro ka Miliyoni 2-5 z’Amayero, nyuma y’indi iri i Cape Town muri Afurika y’Epfo.

Indi kompanyi ni iyitwa Zodel Biotec ikora nk’indi yitwa Tecan iri ku ku isonga ku Isi mu gukwirakwiza za Laboratwri n’ibikoresho byazo, cyane cyane izifashishwa mu bushashatsi ku gituntu na kanseri.

Imibare yari isanzwe igaragaza ko nibura amakompanyi ageze kuri atanu yamaze kwemera kuzakorera mu Rwanda no gusangiza ubunararibonye bwayo bujyanye n’imbogamizi zihari n’ibisubizo bishoboka.

Umushoramari w’Umunya-Bangladesh, Dr. AA Faruque, umwe mu bashinze akanaba Umuyobozi wa kompanyi yitwa Apex Biotech ifite farumasi nini mu Rwanda, yavuze ko ibyo biyemeje ari ukuba indashyikirwa no guhanga udushya mu bijyanye n’ubuvuzi mu Rwanda, binyuze mu ishoramari ariko anasobanura impamvu mu Rwanda ari ho hakwiriye.

Dr. Faruque yavuze ko nibatangira gushyira ku isoko imiti, Apex izatanga imirimo igera kuri 200, ibyo bikagira uruhare mu guha akazi Abanyarwanda, ndetse no kubona isoko ry’ibyo bakora mu karere no muri Afurika y’Iburengerazuba.

Ikigo gishinzwe gukumira indwara n’ibyorezo (CDC) cyerekana ko 99% by’inkingo Afurika ikenera, zitumizwa mu mahanga mu gihe isoko ry’uyu mugabane ritanga agera kuri Miliyari 30 z’Amadorari, mu kugura inkingo n’ibindi bijyanye n’ubuvuzi.

Isoko ryo muri Afurika y’Iburasirazuba ryonyine ryerekana ko agera kuri Miliyari esheshatu z’Amadorari amaze gukoreshwa mu gutumiza inkingo hanze ya Afurika muri uyu mwaka wa 2023.

Igihugu cya Kenya ni cyo kiri imbere aho kimaze gukoresha agera kuri Miliyoni 557 z’Amadorari, Tanzaniya Miliyoni 384 z’Amadorari, Uganda Miliyoni 300 z’Amadorari, u Rwanda Miliyoni 79 z’Amadorari, u Burundi Miliyoni 53 z’Amadorari, hagaheruka Sudani y’Epfo na Miliyoni 16 z’Amadorari.

Kugira ngo ibyo byuho bikemuke, BioNTech ivuga ko igihe ari iki ngo hubakwe uruganga runini rukora inkingo muri Afurika, ku buryo byagabanya igiciro zisanzwe zigurwaho, ari rwo rugiye gutangira gukorera i Kigali mu Rwanda.
