LAST WEEK on Wednesday April 26, 2022, Dr. David Ssenfuka was invited by Mr. Kenneth Mugisha President Rotary club on behalf of Rotarians at International Hotel Muyenga in Kampala as a guest Speaker about his miraculous herbal medicine which treats and cures uncommunicable diseases, Diabetes and Cancer!
His shocking story left them shaking heads while many craved for his phone contacts!
The LEONIA-NNN Medical Research and Diagonastic Centre Director was accompanied by Medical Doctor Moses Mpairwe and a team of his lawyers led by counsel Joshua Buyinza.
In attendance was Dr. Grace Nambatya Kyeyune the Director of Research at the National Chemotherapeutic Research Institute (NCRI) who saluted Dr. Ssenfuka for his research and asked him to work closely with the Ministry of Health to see how best his research can be supported to save lives.
NCRI is a state owned research and development institute in natural products and tradional complementary health systems.
Addressing Rotarians on behalf of Dr. Ssenfuka, counsel Joshua Buyinza revealed that, “LEONIA-NNN-Medical Research & Diagnostics Centre Ltd has evolved to its present form organically where we have responded to a need with appropriate actions.
“Our forerunner and founder Mr. Ssenfuka’s story, of late is inseparable with the herbal formulations that have proved instrumental in the treatment of incurable diseases like Diabetes and Cancer. His story has been told endlessly and it has left listeners bewildered by the way fortune unfolds.” Counsel Buyinza told Rotarians.
SSENFUKA’S STORY: A WONDER DOCTOR TREATING & CURING CANCER AND DIABETES
Dr. Ssenfuka grew up with his grand mother, now deceased, the late Nalongo Leonia Namuganga Nakiwala whose initials are reflected in the name of his company in memory of her illustrious career and fellowship in traditional medicine.
Nalongo Leonia’s knowledge in traditional medicine was slowly passed on to Ssenfuka through the spirit of goodwill who pursued and discovered that the story of the herbal therapeutics she used contained ingredients that have curative effects for Diabetes Mellitus and Cancer.
The journey of discovery, though was realised by coincidence, later took on the course of scientific inquiry, when analysts at the Uganda National Chemotherapeutic Research Institute (UNCRI) investigated the metabolic action of the ingredients found therein and found them effective to cure Diabetes.
This was confirmed during the trials conducted after conducting the safety toxicity tests on drugs.
WHY SSENFUKA HONOURED ROTARIANS’ INVITATION
He said, “Our presence today before you Rotarians is significant. It is worth the time given the long history of ideals that Rotary has come to be synonymous with the world over.”
Ssenfuka noted that, The values of Service, Fellowship, Diversity, Integrity, Leadership under motto of service above self through sustainable projects have been the norms worth emulation and the envy for high achievers.
“We are therefore privileged to be hosted to this fellowship to share with you our sojourn of achievements in a sphere that has not been so pleasantly received but in which we have affirmed to forge on ahead without fear of limitations.” Ssenfuka told Rotarians.
What shocked Rotarians most, Mr. Ssenfuka David is not a medical Doctor nor a pharmacist or Botanist. He hasn’t acquired any academic achievement higher than Ordinary level.
However, hundreds of cancer and Diabetes patients who were on death bed but responded to his treatment and regained their lives, feel comfortable to address him as Dr. Ssenfuka.
Worth admiration is the fact that, so many academic achievers would be pitted to notch the accolade of such discoveries albeit the same going to the humble like Mr. Ssenfuka David.
“Who knows what the limelight we would swim into had he been of such achievement! But we can also comprehend that God designs his plans in ways that should defeat human understanding.” Counsel Buyinza told Rotarians.
He said, in honouring their invitation, Dr. Ssenfuka thought it catchy that he shouldn’t lose such an opportunity of sounding alarm bells to the willing Rotarians.
At Leonia, the sick have been reconditioned to a health life free of Diabetes and Cancer. Treatment and cure have been realised, physical and mental health for the sick and their care givers have been revamped, healing has caused consequential Psycho-social therapy and life expectancy has been invigorated.
As a result there has been registered increase in production, thus bringing about marginal increase of wealth, poverty has been reduced (because diseases contribute to poverty), Happiness (for family, community, society) had been restored, the mortality curve from these uncommunicable diseases is marginally falling, employment is being provided.
“National income will therefore gradually shift upwards, the annals of Academic knowledge are getting richer and we are all susceptible to enjoying National pride.” Said Counsel Buyinza, adding that, “But at the same time, we have witnessed masses of people yearning for our herbal medicines, the young, the teens, and the aged the privileged and the disadvantaged, the capable and the disabled, the lowly, the high and the mighty.”
“We meet and interface with them, with their faces craving and asking for more, but unknown to them, is the reality that our sources are limited and our hands are equally limited to reach as many as we would want.” Decried Dr. Ssenfuka.
For instance, he has so far faced a limitation of scholarly inexperience partly caused by the hazards associated with intellectual exposure.
Sharing the plant sources for essay writings and publications is hampered by the fact that Mr. Ssenfuka will no longer have a secret to trade and protect and yet furthering clinical trials requires well researched and published works.
They have been dispensing medicines on basis of community sittings.
“It is the minimum acceptable way available for us to operate as per the law. Supplying the drug to other dispensaries would violate the National Drug Policy & Authority Act Regulations.” Rotarians told.
This appears acceptable depicting the traditional way by which medicines were prescribed and administered.
Dr. Senfuka and his team has continued in that way because their drugs have not yet reached the standardised level minimally required to distribute it. A standardised drug will be a key milestone which will enable these drugs to reach the masses.
Currently, they are faced with a threat of foreclosure for want of Government approvals to dispense their drugs.
HOW DR. SSENFUKA ASKED ROTARY TO INTERVENE
He said, “We are well appraised of the virtues by which Rotary was founded and on which it has been fostered. Values of Service, Fellowship Diversity, Integrity, Leadership and Service above self. We seek to establish production plants, Joint ventures, out growers, Academic and scholary Collaborations, Partnership, Developers, Philanthropists, Donors, etc all intended to incite innovative, academic, social and economic excellence.”
Ssenfuka and his team believe and have hope that if Rotarians envisage virtue in their future prospects of alleviating mankind of diseases of infirmity, that Rotary extend a hand of service above self in any of their programmes vastly made known to Rotarians for a future so sustainable like they have ever imagined.
Rotary has been engaged previously in cancer runs for no greater purpose than to save lives.
Dr. Ssenfuka think that, if developing infrastructure for cancer management, offering cancer screening and treatment services, promoting cancer awareness, and building human resource capacity for cancer management have been the causes of the Uganda Rotary Cancer program; adding another cause of promoting a cancer cure shall be a grandeur cause that Rotary would be proud to be associated with.
In tandem, to achieve those causes has been Dr. Ssenfuka’s program to go on rampage through media to create awareness of the need for early screening, general health and medical knowledge and increasing the interface time of health practitioners to the public.
