Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah did not get the actual treatment because his bone marrow, which doctors were targeting to heal, was already severely damaged, Dr Chris Baryomunsi, the Minister for ICT and National Guidance, has said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was referred to Seattle [in America] because some of the modern technologies to manage cancer are found there. There is a new technology called Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell therapy (CAR-T), where you harvest bone marrow cells and you use genetic modification to change them, they then develop those receptors, and they are infused again in the patient to attack the cancer cells,\u201d Dr Baryomunsi told mourners during the vigil at the late Oulanyah\u2019s residence in Muyenga, Kampala, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Oulanyah died of natural causes – Dr Oloya<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cBut the challenge with Jacob\u2019s condition was that the bone marrow had been so suppressed that it couldn\u2019t be activated to produce those cells [for attacking cancer]. So by the time he died , the real treatment that he was supposed to receive had not been given.\u201d Dr Baryomunsi was adding clarity to the previous report by the Health minister, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, that the deceased was taken to one of the best hospitals in the world but died before getting the real treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe treatment or the technology that we wanted is available in three hospitals in the world. One in Germany, another in France, but the technology started in Seattle. By the time we sent him there, he was quite ill,\u201d Dr Aceng said.<\/p>\n

She said upon Oulanyah reaching the hospital, it took the doctors some time to stabilise him because of his serious illness.<\/p>\n

\u201c[But] they [doctors] didn\u2019t succeed, he passed on before he got the actual treatment. All this time they were trying to stabilise him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Speaker was taken out of the country for treatment on February 4, with reports claiming that the Uganda Airlines Bus A330-800 neo was used to fly him to Seattle.<\/p>\n

President Museveni announced his death on Sunday, and his body is expected soon, according to a government official.<\/p>\n
