>>       Jammeh cures PATIENTS at RVTH               Written by Ebrima Jaw 
>>Manneh        Monday, 15 January 2007       The curative power of the Holy 
>>Qur’an and traditional medicine were yesterday put to effect at the 
>>Accident and Emergency (A&E) Unit and the Private Ward of the Royal 
>>Victoria Teaching Hopital (RVTH) by President Yahya Jammeh.
>>   Jammeh combined both the spiritual power of curing and traditional 
>>medicine to alleviate the suffering at the emergency unit, as well as 
>>restore the health of patients in critical conditions. The process was so 
>>effective that patients responded to the healing techniques within a short 
>>span of time. His medicinal application was simply the Holy Qur’an 
>>combined with a few traditional herbs.
>>   The curative power of the Gambian leader left many mesmerised and 
>>stunned, including his entourage, doctors, nurses, patients and other 
>>staff of RVTH. It was his second consecutive day at the hospital, after 
>>attending to the patients on Saturday.
>>
>>   Speaking in an interview with journalists, shortly after attending to 
>>the patients, President Jammeh said: “Nowadays there are a lot of strange 
>>illnesses. It seems there is no remedy for them and most of time even if 
>>there is remedy, it takes a lot of time for patients to heal. So I think 
>>its time for me to come out from hiding and show them what I can do”.
>>
>>   He then added: “I told Gambians since 1994 that there are a lot of 
>>things that I can do. But Gambians would never know the Yahya Jammeh that 
>>is here. I believe in two things. If somebody is sick and you cannot cure 
>>the person with the Holy Qur’an, the person is certainly going to die. And 
>>it would not take 24 hours. There is no disease in this world that you 
>>cannot cure using the Qur’an and some natural herbs that are existing 
>>either in the forest and/or at our homes. So this is traditional herbal 
>>medicine but basically used in the Qur’an. It is spiritual. So you will 
>>realise that the whole ward that we took care of yesterday were 
>>coincidentally, all Muslims.”
>>
>>   He then continued: “Yesterday, there were two patients that were in 
>>very critical conditions. In fact, both of them could not talk. I saw that 
>>one of them was suffering and was in great pain, so I had to take care of 
>>him to relief the pain. But the good thing about it was that he was 
>>temporary relieved. But I said yesterday that I have no home with him, 
>>including the old man.”
>>
>>
>>
>>   Source
>>
>>   President Jammeh told journalists he got his medicine from the forest, 
>>saying “what is important is that it my concoction and my knowledge. It is 
>>a natural knowledge for me, which is based on the Qur’an. These are 
>>basically plants. I have the title of doctor. In fact, I am a stronger 
>>doctor than them, because I use the name of Allah and the Qur’an”.
>>
>>   On the continuity of curing patients, President Jammeh decribed the 
>>exercise as a duty. However, he pointed out that he also has other 
>>responsibilities. “One, I am a head of state and have to take care of 
>>state matters. I am also a family man. Also, I have to pray a lot. In 
>>fact, what will happen will be Saturday clinics. And of course, it will 
>>not be every Saturday, because sometimes I have to go to Kanilai. But we 
>>will make an arrangement with them so that we can deal with the most 
>>critical cases. The rest they can take care of them, such as malaria. But 
>>cases where there is no hope, those are the ones I will concentrate on,” 
>>he noted.
>>
>>   He disclosed that he would also attend to HIV/Aids patients,which he 
>>said would require time. He elaborated: “What we could do is to take 
>>members of Santa Yalla, who have exposed themselves so that we can start 
>>with them. But I will tell you when I am ready, because it is not easy to 
>>do it. It is not easy to prepare.” He stressed that one must pray a lot.
>>
>>   President Jammeh then observed that he does not “ just go and cure a 
>>patient. There are signs I look for and I use the Qur’an”. However, he 
>>confirmed that for two of the patients, he did not use the Qur’an because 
>>he was “definitely sure that they are going to die. It is not easy but 
>>that is the way it is. There is nothing I can do for somebody whose time 
>>is up. But if it is a question of illness, we can take care of it”.
>>
>>   He informed journalists that he started the curing process with his 
>>relative to ensure people understand that it’s no joke. “You must have 
>>seen the other one who before I touched him was saying he could not 
>>breathe and that he was going to die. After I attended to him, he was 
>>asking for a job to the extent that he showed me his driving license. Its 
>>all with the power of Almighty Allah,” he said.
>>
>>
>>
>>   The link
>>
>>   Asked about the link between the Qur’an and traditional medicine, 
>>President Jammeh replied: “There is no distinction between the Qur’an and 
>>traditional medicine. Traditional medicine is purely the use of herbs. And 
>>every herb that is of medicinal value is mentioned in the Qur’an. You will 
>>also realise that there some people call marabouts, who use the Qur’an to 
>>write something, wash it and give it to the person to drink. So that’s the 
>>link. And for any verse that you can use in the Qur’an for healing, there 
>>is a tree in the forest that you can use if you cannot use the Qur’an. So 
>>if you can use the Qur’an and the tree itself, it makes it simple. You are 
>>invoking the name of Almighty Allah. And Allah has said that there are so 
>>many things that we can do. There are so many things that are hidden from 
>>us.”
>>
>>   President Jammeh further noted that there is no difference between 
>>traditional medicine, modern medicine and the Qur’an. He explained: 
>>“Whatever they use as modern medicine, must have been extracted from a 
>>plant or naturally existing chemicals. In the Qur’an, you have both the 
>>herbs and elements - elements of a chemical nature that you can use. In 
>>fact, what you extract from the plant are chemicals that are extracted to 
>>make medicine. Some may exist in mineral or gaseous form to make medicine. 
>>The source of all modern and traditional medicine is from Almighty Allah, 
>>and that is the Qur’an. Allah says he has created for mankind all in this 
>>Qur’an. It’s like a literature. I may read a story like that of 
>>Shakespeare and I may know the literal meaning of it. But somebody who has 
>>done literature would be able to explain to you what they are talking 
>>about, which may be different from what I understand about it.”
>>
>>   He then affirmed that he is willing to share the knowledege, provided 
>>it would not be commercialised. “If it is going to be commercialised, then 
>>no!,” he stressed.
>>
>>   Dr Malick Njie, Chief Medical Director of RVTH, expressed his 
>>impression with Jammeh’s miracle, saying what “he has got is different 
>>from what we learnt in medical school”.
>>
>>   Dr Njie added: “I was amazed by somebody who said he could not breathe 
>>and who thought he would die. But after what he gave him, he asked for a 
>>job. I cannot talk much about that because I do not have much knowledge 
>>about it. But traditional medicine is someting that is in the country. 
>>It’s been an excellent visit. We had him yesterday, we had him here today. 
>>His mere presence stimulated a lot in the patients.”
>>
>>   He disclosed that a woman, who was in a bad condition wanted to be 
>>discharged, after she had received “something from the President. She was 
>>ready to go. I told her well,. if you are well, you must go so that we can 
>>admit other patients. But His Excellency said do not let her go.”
>>
>>   He said another female patient, who was in a psychotic condition and  
>>incoherent also responded to President Jammeh’s curative medicine, after 
>>it was administered to her. “She was ready to go home, which we found 
>>amazing. She started talking coherently. This morning the consultant did 
>>the check-up round and certified her fit to be discharged”.
>>
>>
>>
>>   Patients’ account
>>
>>   Also speaking to the journalists, Amadou Bah, a patient at the A&E 
>>Unit, said: “I am getting much better than before. I am really grateful to 
>>President Jammeh for treating me. I am very happy.”
>>
>>   Omar Jaiteh, another patient, said: “I now feel fine. I am feeling much 
>>better now.”
>>
>>   Ebrima Demba, who was confined to his sickbed since his admission at 
>>the A&E Unit, said: “I feel really great. I could not walk from my bed to 
>>the toilet. But now, I can walk thanks to the President. Illness is cured 
>>through a gradual process and I really want the President to come again.”
>>
>>   Alagie Hydara and Elbo Jarjue, also expressed similar sentiments.
>>
>>   President Jammeh brought gifts for the patients and then gave out 
>>D30,000 to a lady, whose father passed away at the A&E Unit. He also gave 
>>gifts of cash to the Kanifing gas explosion victims at the Intensive Care 
>>Unit.
>>
>>   President Jammeh was accompanied to the hospital by the Secretary 
>>General, a number of Secretaries of State and the Chief of Protocol.
