Batch 11, 267 women treatment! At this rate the Gambia will be populated
by His Excellency's very own engineered procreation! The way to go
buddy. I think Tamsir Mbowe should be ashamed of himself.

*A total number of 267 women that make up the 11th batch of the
President's infertility treatment programme were Friday discharged by
the Gambian leader, His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya
Jammeh, after a weeklong treatment in Kanilai. *The discharge ceremony
was held at State House in Banjul.

The 11th Batch that comprising women from different parts of the country
and beyond, was described as the best in terms of unity and camaraderie
among them during their treatment. This, according to the President's
Alternative Medical Treatment Programme (PAMTP) team, had made the
treatment easy for them. The women, some of whom at the beginning of the
treatment faced so many complicated issues, are now elated and
hopefulafter having taken the concoction prepared and administered by
the Gambian leader himself.

Addressing the patients prior to their discharge, President Jammeh
expressed delight with the comportment of the women during their
treatment. He pledged his support for the group, saying he will do
everything within his reach to help ease their problem. "I am very happy
and by the grace of the Almighty so many of you will bear children,"
President Jammeh assured the women.

He added: "Your group was excellent. May God reward you and answer our
prayers. May you all do a naming ceremony." He also urged the women to
take care of themselves and their health at all times as well as to
continue to nurture the unity they have built among themselves.

The Gambian leader commended the group for being the first to come up
with the idea of forming an association. The group had earlier decided
to form an association and name it "11 Batch of Fertility Group".

President Jammeh also advised the groupto respect the leadership of
their group. "Do not allow anything to divide you and you should also
make sure that you limit the membership to only those of you in the
group," he told the women. He continued: "If you choose somebody as your
leader, then you should respect him/her and you should be mindful of that."

Speaking earlier, Dr. Tamsir Mbowe, director general of the PAMTP,
described the 11th batch as one of the best groups because of their
cooperation throughout the entire treatment process.

"This has made it possible to do the treatment as planned. His
Excellency has been following the one-week treatment programme. It was a
very hectic one though, because of the timing, and like I always say,
this kind of treatment is not an easy treatment programme. The money
involved is too much and also the time factor, as you may know His
Excellency, being the president is not only involved in the management
of the patients but he has also other official duties and for the past
one week he was very busy with the patients.

"Based on my experience as a medical doctor, I am hoping that we might
achieve 99.9% because nothing is 100% in life but seeing the way the
management was done and the type of medication given and the attitude of
the patients, really made me very impressive and I know in this batch we
are hoping for 99.9% management," he said, while underlining the
complexity of infertility treatment. "It is one of the most complex
programmes, as you could see there are so many procedures involved," he
added.

Kura Njie, the president of the newly formed association and a resident
of New Jeshwang, said they thought it imperative to form an association
to render their services to a man who has given them the hope of bearing
children. She added that the only way they could support the man who
restored their hope of bearing children is by assisting him in all his
activities. She also thanked Dr Mbowe and his team for their care and
understanding throughout the treatment process.

Ramatulie Sanneh, one of the patients from Bakau, dedicated a poem to
President Jammeh, whom they [women] described as the champion of peace
in the African continent. The poem highlighted the developments
registered by the Jammeh administration since the July 22nd Revolution
in 1994.
