Ntabwo yahise ajya kwipimisha kanseri, ahubwo ngo yamaze igihe kinini yivuza indwara atazi ndetse n’abamuvura batazi icyo bamuvura.

Ati “Nanyuze mu mavuriro menshi bampa imiti ariko batambwira icyo ndwaye kuko na bo ubwabo batari bakizi, ahubwo bajyaga bampererekanya mu mavuriro atandukanye. Naje kumenya icyo ndwaye ngeze i Kigali nyuma yo kumfata ibizamini.”

Uwo mubyeyi avuga ko uburwayi bwe bushobora kuba bwaramufashe nko mu myaka 12 ishize, kuko akibyara umwana we muto w’imyaka 10 aribwo yatangiye kujya yumva ububabare mu ibere ariko ntamenye icyo arwaye cyane ko ubuvuzi bw’indwara za kanseri butari bwagasakaye mu Rwanda.

Mugenzi we wivuza kanseri y’amara, avuga ko yamaze igihe mu rujijo rw’indwara arwaye akeka ko ari inzoka zo mu nda, ubundi agakeka ko arwaye igifu kubera kutihutira kujya ku bitaro ngo atange ibizamini, ahubwo akagura imiti muri farumasi akivura indwara atarwaye.

Ubuvuzi bwa Kanseri mu Rwanda burarushaho gutera imbere

Dr Sebahungu Fidèle, inzobere mu ndwara zo mu mubiri (Internist) mu bitaro bya Butaro mu ishami ry’ubuvuzi bwa Kanseri, avuga ko ubuvuzi bwa Kanseri bwatangiye gutangirwa ku bitaro kuva mu mwaka wa 2012 kandi uko imyaka yigira imbere ngo ubu buvuzi bugenda burushaho kuzamura ubushobozi.

Agira ati “Guhera muri 2012, Leta y’u Rwanda yafatanyije na Partners in Health (PIH) bashyiraho ikigo cy’ubuvuzi bwa Kanseri ndetse bashyiraho n’ubushobozi bwo gupima izo ndwara ndetse ubu hari n’ubuvuzi bwa kanseri bwifashisha imirasire mu gushiririza zimwe muri kanseri zikenera ubwo buryo.”

Avuga kandi ko kugeza ubu, hari urukingo rwa kanseri y’inkondo y’umura ruhabwa abakobwa bakiri bato ku buryo hitezwe ko zimwe muri kanseri zigaragara cyane nka kanseri y’inkondo y’umura n’ibere zizagenda zigabanya umurego mu myaka iri imbere.

Ku bwoko bubiri bwa kanseri, ifata amabere na kanseri y’inkondo y’umura, hamwe na PIH, ibitaro bya Butaro byashyizeho gahunda yo gupima no kwigisha abaturage guhera ku rwego rw’umudugudu kugira ngo abagaragaza ibimenyetso bibanziriza izo ndwara bitabweho hakiri kare, kuko bifasha mu mikirire y’izo kanseri.

Vestine Rugema umuforomo uhagarariye iyo gahunda, aremeza ko itanga umusaruro mwiza kuko buri kigo Nderabuzima gifite abaforomo bahuguwe, bafasha mu gukurikirana no gufata ibipimo by’ababyeyi baba bafite ibimenyetso bishobora kubyara uburwayi bwa kanseri y’ibere cyangwa inkondo y’umura.

Dr Sekagarura Raymond agaruka ku mwihariko w’ibitaro bivura Kanseri bya Butaro, ku bufatanye na Partners In Health, ibitaro byohereza abaganga bakajya gufata abarwayi mu ngo zabo aho ari ho hose baherereye mu gihugu bakabazana ku bitaro kugira ngo bahabwe ubuvuzi bakeneye.

Ibitaro bya Butaro byafunguwe ku mugaragaro kuwa 24 Mutarama 2011 na Perezida Paul Kagame nk’ ibitaro by’akarere ka Burera, ariko bikaba n’ibitaro byihariye ku buvuzi bw’indwara za Kanseri aho byakira abarwayi baturutse ku bitaro byose byo mu Rwanda, n’abaturuka mu bihugu by’abaturanyi.
