Byatangarijwe mu gikorwa cyo gushyira ahagaragara ubwo bushakashatsi bwakozwe muri 2017, bwerekana uko ibihumanya umwuka uhumekwa mu Rwanda birushanya ubukana bityo hashakwe ingamba zo kubirwanya.

Ubwo bushakashatsi bugaragaza ko ibicanwa bikomoka ku biti ndetse n’imyuka isohorwa n’ibinyabiziga bitandukanye, biza ku isonga mu guhumanya umwuka abantu bahumeka bikabangamira ubuzima bwabo.

Ibyo ngo ni byo byatumye hatekerezwa umushinga wo gupima umwuka buri munsi kugira ngo abaturage bamenye uko bitwara nk’uko bitangazwa na Dr Jimmy Gasore, umwarimu muri kaminuza y’u Rwanda akaba n’umushakashatsi ku bijyanye n’ubwiza bw’umwuka.

Agira ati “Uyo mushinga urahari, twatangiye kugura ibikoresho no kubishyira hirya no hino mu gihugu. Gusa biracyari bikeya, igihe bizaba byabonetse bihagije kuko dushaka gushyira byinshi mu mujyi wa Kigali, tuzatangira kujya tubitangariza abaturage buri munsi”.

Yongeraho ko ibyo bishobora gutangira muri Kanama uyu mwaka, ngo bikazatuma abantu bamenya uko bitwara ndetse niba hari n’ingamba igihugu cyafata kikazifata gihereye ku bipimo byagaragajwe n’ibyo byuma.

Ubushakashatsi buheruka bw’Ishami ry’Umuryango w’Abibumbye ryita ku buzima (OMS), bwerekanye ko mu Rwanda muri 2012, abantu 2237 bapfuye bazira ingaruka zo guhumana k’umwuka.

Umuyobozi wa REMA, Ir Collette Ruhamya, avuga ko gupima umwuka no gutangaza ayo makuru bizafasha abaturage kwirinda izo ndwara.

Ati “Ni umushinga dufatanyije n’ibindi bigo nk’icy’ubumenyi bw’ikirere, bazajya bareba uko umwuka umeze mu gace runaka, batangarize abaturage ikigero cy’ubuhumane bwawo. Ubwo umuntu azamenya ko umwana afite w’ikigero runaka atemerewe kuwuhumeka agume mu nzu hirindwa za ndwara”.

Uyu muyobozi akangurira Abanyarwanda kugabanya cyane cyangwa kureka gucana ibikomoka ku biti, bakayoboka gaze, biyogaze n’ibindi bicanwa bidahumanya ikirere hagamijwe kwirinda.
