Siwasekela kanjani amakhasimende ethu ase-Afrika
Uhambo lwase-Afrika luqale ngokubamba iqhaza kwabameleli bethu bezentengiso kanye nenhloko yesevisi yangemva kokuthengisa embukisweni we-Africa Health obubanjelwe eKapa, eNingizimu Afrika (kusukela mhla zi-2 kuMandulo 2025 kuya kuMandulo 9, 2025). Lo mbukiso ube nezithelo ezinhle kakhulu kithi. Ikakhulukazi, abahlinzeki abaningi bendawo abavela e-Afrika baveze isifiso esinamandla sokwakha ukubambisana nathi ngemuva kokufunda ngemikhiqizo yethu. Siyajabula kakhulu ukuthi siqale lolu hambo ngendlela enhle kangaka.
Ukuvala Izikhala Zobuchwepheshe eKapa
Uhambo lwethu luqale eKapa, lapho izikhungo zezokwelapha zasendaweni ziveze khona izidingo eziphuthumayo zokuqeqeshwa okujulile mayelana nokusebenza kanye nokugcinwa kwemishini ye-dialysis. Ngezinqubo ze-dialysis yezinso, ikhwalithi yamanzi ayinakuxoxiswana ngayo—futhi yilaphoUhlelo lwethu Lokuhlanza Amanziuthatha isiteji esiyinhloko.Ngesikhathi sokuqeqeshwa, ochwepheshe bethu babonise indlela uhlelo olususa ngayo ukungcola, amabhaktheriya, kanye namaminerali ayingozi emanzini angavuthiwe, beqinisekisa ukuthi luhlangabezana nezindinganiso zomhlaba wonke eziqinile zokuhlanza igazi. Abahlanganyeli bafunde ukuqapha amazinga okuhlanzeka kwamanzi, ukuxazulula izinkinga ezivamile, kanye nokwenza ukulungiswa okuvamile—amakhono abalulekile ekuvimbeleni ukungasebenzi kahle kwemishini kanye nokuvikela ukuphepha kweziguli.
Kanye noHlelo Lokwelapha Amanzi, ithimba lethu ligxile nakuMshini Wokuhlanza Izinso, okuyisisekelo sokwelashwa kwezifo zezinso esigabeni sokugcina. Sihambise amakhasimende kuzo zonke izinyathelo zokusebenza komshini: kusukela ekusethweni kwesiguli kanye nokulungiswa kwamapharamitha kuya ekuqapheni ngesikhathi sangempela kwezikhathi zokuhlanza izinso. Ochwepheshe bethu bangemva kokuthengisa babelane ngamathiphu awusizo okwandisa isikhathi sokuphila komshini, njengokushintsha njalo isihlungi kanye nokulinganisa, okubhekana ngqo nenselele yokuzinza kwemishini yesikhathi eside ezindaweni ezilinganiselwe izinsiza. “Lokhu kuqeqeshwa kusinikeze ukuzethemba kokusebenzisa uMshini Wokuhlanza Izinso kanye noHlelo Lokwelapha Amanzi ngokuzimela,” kusho omunye umhlengikazi wendawo. “Akusadingeki silinde ukwesekwa kwangaphandle lapho kuvela izinkinga.”
Ukuthuthukisa Ezempilo eTanzania
Ukusuka eKapa, ithimba lethu lathuthela eTanzania, lapho isidingo sokunakekelwa kwe-dialysis okufinyelelekayo sikhula ngokushesha. Lapha, sihlele ukuqeqeshwa kwethu ngokwezidingo ezihlukile zezikhungo zezokwelapha zasemakhaya nezasemadolobheni ngokufanayo. Ezindaweni ezinemithombo yamanzi engaguquki, ukuzivumelanisa nezimo koHlelo lwethu Lokwelapha Amanzi kwaba yinto evelele kakhulu—sabonisa amakhasimende ukuthi uhlelo lusebenza kanjani nemithombo yamanzi ehlukene, kusukela kumapayipi kamasipala kuya emanzini asemthonjeni, ngaphandle kokubeka engcupheni ikhwalithi. Lokhu kuguquguquka kuyishintsho emitholampilo yaseTanzania, njengoba kususa ingozi yokuphazamiseka kwe-dialysis ngenxa yokushintshashintsha kwekhwalithi yamanzi.
Uma kukhulunywa ngomshini wokuhlaziya izinso, ochwepheshe bethu bagcizelele izici ezilula ukuzisebenzisa ezenzelwe ukwenza imisebenzi eyinkimbinkimbi ibe lula. Senze izivivinyo zokulingisa lapho ababambiqhaza belingisa khona izimo zangempela zesiguli, kusukela ekulungiseni isikhathi sokuhlaziya kuya ekuphenduleni izimpawu ze-alamu.Umshini Wokuhlanza Izinsokuthuthukile, kodwa ukuqeqeshwa kwenze kwaba lula ukukuqonda,” kuphawula umphathi wekliniki. “Manje sesingakwazi ukukhonza iziguli eziningi ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngamaphutha okusebenza.”
Ngaphandle kokuqeqeshwa kobuchwepheshe, ithimba lethu lilalele nezidingo zamakhasimende zesikhathi eside. Izikhungo eziningi zase-Afrika zibhekene nezinselele ezifana nezingxenye ezisele ezilinganiselwe kanye nokunikezwa kwamandla okungaguquki—izinkinga esizixazululile ngokwabelana ngemikhuba emihle yokugcina imishini kanye nezinhlelo zokusekela. Isibonelo, sincome ukuhlanganisa i-Water Treatment System ne-portable backup unit ukuqinisekisa ukuhlanzwa kwamanzi okungaphazamiseki ngesikhathi sokucima kukagesi, okuyinkinga evamile eNingizimu Afrika naseTanzania.
Ukuzibophezela Ekunakekelweni Kwezinso Komhlaba Wonke
Lo msebenzi wokuqeqesha wase-Afrika awuyona nje isinyathelo sebhizinisi kithina eChengdu Wesley—uyisibonakaliso sokuzinikela kwethu ekuthuthukiseni ukunakekelwa kwezinso emhlabeni jikelele. Uhlelo Lokwelapha Amanzi kanye noMshini Wokuhlanza Izinso akuzona nje imikhiqizo; kungamathuluzi anika amandla abahlinzeki bezempilo ukusindisa izimpilo. Ngokuthumela amalungu eqembu lethu anolwazi kakhulu ukuze babelane ngolwazi, sisiza ekwakheni izinhlelo zokuhlanza izinso ezizimele ezingachuma isikhathi eside ngemva kokuphela kokuqeqeshwa kwethu.
Njengoba siphetha lolu hambo, sesivele sibheke phambili ekubambisaneni kwesikhathi esizayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuse-Afrika noma kwezinye izifunda, Sizoqhubeka nokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bethu ku-Water Treatment System kanye ne-Kidney Dialysis Machine ukusekela amaqembu ezempilo emhlabeni wonke. Ngoba isiguli ngasinye sifanelwe ukufinyelela ekunakekelweni kwe-dialysis okuphephile nokuthembekile—futhi wonke umhlinzeki wezempilo ufanelwe amakhono okukunikeza.
