Aja Sumbundu of Nema Alikali, a village near Wellingara, Kanifing
Municipality, who was one of the patients in the Infertility Treatment
Programme of President Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh, on Sunday, gave birth to
a bouncing baby girl. The baby is named after the vice-president, Aja Dr
Isatou Njie-Saidy.
Speaking to journalists at the naming ceremony held at the village, the
joyous Aja Sumbundu expressed gratitude to Allah for giving the
president knowledge to treat infertility.
“I drank so many medicines after so many years of marriage, but to no
avail. When I heard of the the president’s infertility treatment, I was
opportuned to be one of the lucky ones who were put on the treatment. I
must thank the president for curing my infertility. The treatment is a
reality. I was without a child for so many years,’’ said the mother of
baby Isatou.
Fatoumata Sumbundu, a sister to Aja, said when her sister gave birth,
they balloted names, including that of the First Lady, Zineb Yahya
Jammeh, vice-president, among other public figures and it happened that
the vice-president’s name came out.
“We pray to Allah to bless the president. We also thank Dr Tamsir Mbowe,
Alhaji Momodou Sanyang and the entire staff of the Presidential Medical
Treatment Programme for their help and encouragement, which has resulted
to joy and pride for all of us,” she said.
For his part, Dr Tamsir Mbowe, the director general of the Presidential
Treatment Programme, said they are expecting more delivery of babies, as
63 other patients who participated in the infertility treatment have
been confirmed pregnant, according to their HCG and abdominal ultra
sound report.
’’It is an indication of the efficacy of the presidential treatment that
the patients who have histories of 5-17 years of infertility have
conceived after taking the president’s herb,’ he declared’.
Dr Mbowe observed that the treatment of infertility is one of the most
expensive and the most tedious in the treatment programme. He urged
patients to go by the rules of the treatment programme.
