Zimbabwean scientists have announced a potential breakthrough in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and melanoma, a type of skin cancer, reported <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/zimbabwean-scientists-claim-discovery-of-alzheimers-melanoma-cancer-cure/">ZimLive</a>.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily impacts memory, thinking, and behavior, and is the leading cause of dementia.
Professor Simon Mukwembi, the lead scientist on the project, stated that through a computer system, they have named Rutava, researchers identified a chemical compound that specifically targets malignant cancer cells without affecting healthy cells in the body.
This research was conducted in collaboration with the University of Witwatersrand and the University of Johannesburg in South Africa.
At a news conference in Harare on Thursday, Professor Mukwembi said that the study focused exclusively on treatments for melanoma and Alzheimer’s disease. He said:
<blockquote>
The good thing that Rutava does is you can recalibrate it for other diseases. So, for the cancer, we’ve got quite a number of cancers, right?
What we have worked on right now is melanoma skin cancer. But of course, we can extend out to sort out all the other cancers without difficulty because we now have the innovative technology.
… We also developed, using the Rutava, a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
</blockquote>
Professor Mukwembi described Rutava as a “digital technology powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced mathematical formulas.”
He explained that this innovative technology has the potential to significantly reduce the time required to transition from discovery to drug development, shortening the process from several years to just a few months. He added:
<blockquote>
I’m pleased to say we used Rutava to discover drugs for the treatment of different diseases. First, there is cancer. We’ve got a compound that can target only cancerous cells in the human body.
Currently, the difficulty is that the available cancer drugs target both the cancerous cells and the healthy normal cells. Rutava only targets the cancerous cells.
About 10 million people died of cancer in 2020 and the same number in 2023. So you can see the market for the cancer drug is huge the world over.
</blockquote>
Prof Mukwembi, who is the chairman of the Harare Institute of Public Health (HIPH), was flanked by the institute’s principal Dr Amos Marume and its registrar Dr Isaac Mutingwende.
He expressed confidence that their technology could potentially cure cancer and Alzheimer’s disease but emphasized the need to conduct clinical trials to validate their findings.
Other scientists involved in the project include Dr Eloise van der Merwe, Professor Farai Nyabadza, Professor Yasien Sayed, Professor Betsie Jonck, Professor Eunice Mphako-Banda, Dr Ronnie Maartens, Moster Zhangazha, Neo Padi, and Thabelo Mulenga.
Dr Marume stated that although their discovery will be patented, their share of future profits may be diluted due to the need for funding to develop the drugs and treatments.

Zimbabwean scientists say they found ways to treat Alzheimer's and melanoma cancer. They used a computer system to identify a chemical that targets cancer cells without hurting healthy ones. This was done with help from South African universities. The technology they used can speed up drug development and focus only on cancer cells. They want to do more research and clinical trials to confirm their findings. If successful, this could be a big breakthrough for treating cancer and Alzheimer's.

Zimbabwean Scientists Claim Discovery Of Alzheimer’s, Melanoma Cancer Treatment

Parliamentarians are considering advocating for laws that would permit the commercialisation of services at Zimbabwe’s public hospitals.
Addressing journalists following a visit to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, which is the country’s largest referral centre, Daniel Molokele, chairperson of the parliamentary Health Portfolio Committee, said (via <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/zimbabwes-parliament-moots-policy-reform-to-commercialise-services-at-public-hospitals/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>):
<blockquote>
As a portfolio committee it is our responsibility to start to make sure that this changes.
Our responsibility is to make sure that access to health services especially for cancerous diseases must not be a preserve for a few Zimbabweans, it must be for every Zimbabwean and as things stand we hear that a lot of people are dying because emphasis is on money.
We think the real problem is not money, but rather the legal and policy framework around administration of these healthcare services.
What we need to see is institutions such as Parirenyatwa, and Mpilo, getting more autonomy in terms of ability to provide services at a fee.
</blockquote>
The parliamentary committee toured the cancer treatment units at Parirenyatwa and Mpilo Central Hospital where critical machines have broken down.
Molokele, who is the CCC Member of Parliament for the Hwange constituency, said:
<blockquote>
So, I think the era of Parirenyatwa waiting for someone to pay for the repairs or the maintenance of these machines has to come to an end, they must have the ability to pay for themselves and that is the direction we are going to push for.
We are going to push for policy and legal framework so that those people going to India and South Africa or the private sector for healthcare services actually access them here, what we call commercialisation, and then Parirenyatwa will use the profits to fund the public front of it so that more people can access the service.
</blockquote>
Government-run public health facilities include six central hospitals, eight provincial hospitals, and 63 district-level hospitals, with the rest being rural hospitals.

Zimbabwe's Parliament Considers Policy Reform To Commercialise Government Hospitals

Mpilo Central Hospital has resumed radiotherapy services following the Government’s intervention which resulted in the deployment of a physicist.
The machines broke down on 15 August last year and were fixed last month but could not be run as the hospital had no physicist.
As a result, cancer patients from the Southern region had to travel to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals in Harare, the only other hospital that offers cancer treatment in the country.
Mpilo acting chief executive Solwayo Ngwenya expressed gratitude to the Government for ensuring that the service resumes. He said:
<blockquote>We are very happy that the machines have finally been fixed and we have a physicist who was seconded by the Ministry of Health and Child Care to help administer the treatment.
We are particularly grateful that all the work which has been done so far was facilitated by Vice President Constantino Chiwenga during his last visit.</blockquote>
Head of the radiotherapy department Dr Tatenda Chingonzoh revealed that about 120 patients had been on the waiting list last year when the machine broke down. Said Chingonzoh:
<blockquote>We are happy that finally, we will resume offering radiotherapy at Mpilo although we are in need of a physicist.
The one we have is temporary and then the day he goes we will be forced to suspend the services as this type of treatment needs highly qualified personnel.</blockquote>

Mpilo Central Hospital Resumes Radiotherapy Services

Mpilo Central Hospital is set to become the first Zimbabwean medical institution to offer nuclear medicine which will result in advanced diagnosis and treatment of cancer, heart, lung, kidney diseases among others.
Head of the Nuclear Medicine Department, Dr Xolani Ndluvu said that they had finally got the licence and the duty free certificate to purchase quality control equipment and they are ready to administer nuclear medicine. He said that they were expected to start administering nuclear medicine but they are yet to acquire a technetium — 99m generator.
Ncube said the nuclear medicine will also benefit those suffering from coronary artery disease, hyperthyroidism and help in lung ventilation and perfusion imaging. He stated that they will also be able to do liver functional imaging and other diseases.

Writing on his Facebook page, Strive Masiyiwa revealed how his daughter had to suspend university for a year as she battled cancer. He also revealed that he had accepted an invitation to work with Former US President George W Bush because of the experience.
Wrote Masiiyiwa:
<div class="_5pbx userContent" data-ft='{"tn":"K"}' id="js_2s">
<blockquote>Pause: Something really, really important. 
__It could save a life.
A few weeks ago, I went to see a doctor with one of my daughters. She is 22 years old. It was just the two of us. The doctor welcomed us both with real excitement: “Today is exactly one year since your remission. You are totally free of cancer,” the doctor announced. He was as excited as we were. My daughter and I shrilled with joy, and we thanked God profusely.
“How is school?”‘
“Well, I went back last September, and I will be graduating in a few weeks. And all my hair is back!”
# God is good!
Later my daughter and I broke our fast and shared communion with the other members of our family, even those who were in other parts of the world.
# My daughter is a cancer survivor!
It had been a year-long battle against a cancer known as lymphoma. We are a family of faith and we never doubted that we would beat this thing. My daughter is a mighty woman of faith even from when she was a child. It is how we trained our children.
It all started with my daughter saying she had a persistent dry cough. My wife insisted they go to the doctor immediately. She was found to have a tumor the size of a tennis ball in her chest!
My daughter had to suspend university for a year. Our whole family organized its life around her treatment. The other children were always taking turns to ensure continuous support. Above all, we prayed without ceasing.
Those who know my wife: <a class="_58cn" data-ft='{"tn":"*N","type":104}' href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/africanlionessroar?source=feed_text&amp;story_id=1426899314051226">#AfricanLionessRoar</a>!
There were times during the treatment when our daughter slept every night in my wife’s arms. My wife never complained or cried in despair… Just prayed, encouraged, strengthened.
Our prayer partners and friends, including my daughter’s friends at her university, were absolutely amazing: God bless you all to eternity!
One day whilst we were in the middle of this battle, I got a call from the office of former US President George W Bush. He told me he’d followed my campaign against the spread of Ebola. He asked me if I’d be interested in a campaign to help stop the spread of a cancer called CERVICAL CANCER.
In all humility, we could not have stopped Ebola without the contribution of President Obama. Incidentally, he’s the one who had suggested to President Bush to approach me as part of a program of ambassadors to build awareness.
Until President Bush mentioned it, I had fleeting knowledge of cervical cancer but once I sat down to read about it, I was totally horrified:
# Along with breast cancer it’s the most common cancer in women around the world.
# In sub-Saharan Africa, more than 93,000 African women develop this cancer each year and an estimated 57,000 die.
# While cervical cancer is now (mostly) preventable and treatable (if diagnosed early)… it’s still the cancer that kills the most women in sub-Saharan Africa.
Now I did not always agree with President Bush and his policies when he was in office. That was not the issue. Here was something good! If someone comes to me with something good, I consider it on its merits. So I travelled to the US and met President Bush and his wife Laura, as well as then-First Lady Michelle Obama, to launch a campaign on awareness dangers of cervical cancer.
Thinking back to my daughter: It was the grace of God that she happened to be home from college in the US. I believe in healing and I also believe cures come from God, because anything good is of God; good medical care and treatment can only be from God.
To all the women on this platform: My dearest sisters, listen to me:
# Early diagnosis and regular check-ups are key. Get a check-up.
# In the case of cervical cancer, if you’re under 26 years old, you can even get the vaccine against the HPV virus that causes it. Get the vaccine.
# Tell your friends and family.
Don’t nurse pains and aches, or ignore abnormal symptoms in your body. That’s not brave!
# Go to a clinic and get it checked out. It could save your life.
And to all you men out there: Be concerned over your wives, daughters, sisters and mothers. Don’t be old-fashioned about issues concerning the health of women. Be engaged, knowledgeable and above all, totally supportive.
# Talk about these things! Women issues are life to us all.
Join us to stop cervical cancer amongst African women.
God bless you!
End.</blockquote>

Strive Masiyiwa narrates daughter's fight with cancer, reveals he's been invited to work with ex-US President George W Bush

Cancer patients in the southern region of <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</a> had to travel to <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Harare" target="_blank">Harare</a> for treatment, despite the fact that <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Mpilo General Hospital" target="_blank">Mpilo General Hospital</a> has an idle radiotherapy machine which was purchased four years ago and is yet to start working.  This is despite the fact that the radiotherpay machine used at <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Parirenyatwa_Group_of_Hospitals" target="_blank">Parirenyatwa Hospital</a> in Harare, was purchased at the same time as the idle one at Mpilo.
It is alleged that the previous Mpilo management which was later on fired, was given funds for the machine’s installation, but corruptly diverted the funds, leaving people in the southern region of Zimbabwe needing to travel to Harare for cancer treatment.
