Uyu munsi leta y'u Rwanda irafungura ikigo cya mbere gifite imashini yo mu bwoko bwa Radiotherapy ifasha kwica uturemangingo twa Cancer mu mubiri. Nibwo bwa mbere u Rwanda rugiye gutangira gukoresha iyi mashini, abarwayi benshi bajyaga mu mahanga gushaka serivisi zayo.

Byarandenze, sinabashije kubyakira - Numvaga ko ngiye gupfa". Madamu Usanase ariko kuba indwara ye yarabonetse kare kuyivura byaroroshye ndetse arakira. Ubu mu Rwanda abana b'abakobwa bahawe abandi baracyahabwa urukingo rw'iyi ndwara. Kanseri y'inkondo y'umura ni iya kabiri muri kanseri zibasira abagore muri Afurika, ariko niyo yica kurusha izindi nk'uko bivugwa n'ishami ry'umuryango w'abibumbye ryita ku buzima, OMS.

Kanseri y'inkondo y'umura iterwa na virusi yitwa HPV Nubwo iyi ndwara ikica benshi muri Afurika kandi urukingo rwayo ruhari, ibihugu 10 gusa bya Africa nibyo bifite uru rukingo muri gahunda yo kurwanya iyi ndwara. Senegal nicyo gihugu cyonyine mu burengerazuba bwa Afurika giha abaturage bacyo uru rukingo, Nigeria yo iracyari kurugerageza ngo izabone kurutanga ku rwego rw'igihugu. Mu karere k'ibiyaga bigari ibintu bimeze neza kurusha ahandi kuko uru rukingo ubu ruri no gutangwa muri Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania na Ethiopia. Ubwoba bw'amarozi U Rwanda rwatangije gahunda y'uru rukingo ku bana b'abakobwa, rushishikariza n'abagore kwisumisha iyi ndwara mu 2011. Mu mwaka wa mbere w'iki gikorwa, ubutegetsi bw'u Rwanda buvuga ko bwageze ku bakobwa 9 ku 10 bagejeje igihe cyo gufata uru rukingo, abahanga bavuga ko uru ari urugero rw'igikorwa cyageze ku ntego. Gusa ni igikorwa kitabuze inzitizi. Ethiopia ubu iri mu bihugu 10 bya Africa biri gutanga uru rukingo Ikibazo cy'umuco n'imyumvire ku ndwara nk'izi. Madamu Usanase avuga ko hari abagore batekereza ko iyi kanseri ari indwara y'amarozi bakajya kuyivuza mu baganga ba 'gakondo' aho kujya kwa muganga usanzwe. Abagore bandi bagatinya ko bashobora gukurwamo nyababyeyi mu gihe bayirwaye. Nyamara icyo gikorwa kiri mu bikorwa mu kuvura uyirwaye, ntabwo kiri mu kuyirinda utarayirwara. Dr Francois Uwinkwindi ushinzwe kurwanya kanseri mu kigo gishinzwe ubuzima mu Rwanda RBC avuga ko "kanseri y'inkondo y'umura ari kanseri iriho cyane, ariko ikibazo ari abaza kuyivuza igeze kure". Abategetsi ku rwego rw'ibanze, abajyanama b'ubuzima, amashuri n'ibitangazamakuru byarifashishijwe mu gushishikariza ababyeyi gukingiza abakobwa babo no kubaha amakuru kuri iyi ndwara. Imyaka umunani nyuma ubu uru rukingo ruri mu nkingo zihabwa abana bageze igihe cyo kurufata nk'uko bafata izindi nkingo zisanzwe. Nubwo umusaruro wavuye muri iyi gahunda utaratangazwa mu mibare, ariko ibihugu bindi byakingiye abaturage iyi ndwara kwandura HPV byaragabanutse cyane. Urukingo rwa HPV rwagabanyije cyanwa ubwandu bw'iyi ndwara muri Australia Australia, aho uru rukingo rwatangiye gutangwa mu 2007, bari baratangiye kubona no kwita ku barwaye iyi ndwara kuva mu 1991. Imibare ya kanseri y'inkondo y'umura muri iki gihugu ku mwaka ni abantu barindwi ku bantu 100,000, biteganyijwe ko mu mpera za 2020 iyi mibare izaba iri munsi ya 6/100,000. 'Abagore icyenda buri munsi barapfa' Nyuma y'u Rwanda, ibindi bihugu bya Afurika ubu nabyo biri muri iyi gahunda. Mu kwezi kwa 10, leta ya Kenya yatangije urukingo rwa HPV muri gahunda isanzwe y'inkingo mu gihugu ibifashijwemo n'abaterankunga mpuzamahanga. Leta ya Kenya irashaka gukingira abakobwa 800,000 mu myaka 10 iri imbere.

Mbonje Athman umugore uba mu mujyi wa Mombasa mu burasirazuba bwa Kenya, avuga ko yumva ibihuha ko umwana uhawe urwo rukingo rumuremaza. Urukingo rwa HPV hari abari kuruwanya muri Kenya Ati: "Sindajya gukingiza umukobwa wanjye w'imyaka 10 kubera ibyo numvise. Nta makuru nyayo twigeze duhabwa kuri urwo rukingo" Umuryango wa gikiristu witwa Kenya Catholic Doctors Association (KCDA), wo wasabye ko abantu bamagana uru rukingo ngo kuko nta mpamvu yo kuruha abana b'abakobwa, ukavuga ko bagomba gusa kwirinda ubusambanyi. Mu Rwanda, Madamu Usanase we agira inama abandi ko bajya kwisuzumisha iyi ndwara kuko abakuru batagize amahirwe nk'ay'abana b'abakobwa ubu babona uru rukingo ruhabwa abakiri bato.
