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.
