Igituntu (TB) ni ikibazo gikomeye ku buzima ku isi, kandi imwe mu ntwaro z'ibanze mu kuyirwanya ni antibiyotike Rifampicin. Nubwo bimeze bityo ariko, mu gihe isi igenda yiyongera, Rifampicin - ibiyobyabwenge bisanzwe bya zahabu - ubu ihura n’ibura.

Rifampicin ni kimwe mu bintu by'ingenzi bigize gahunda yo kuvura igituntu, kuko igira akamaro kanini mu kurwanya imiti irwanya ibiyobyabwenge. Ni umwe kandi mu miti ikoreshwa cyane mu kurwanya igituntu, aho abarwayi barenga miliyoni 1 ku isi bavurwa nayo buri mwaka.

Impamvu zibura Rifampicin ni nyinshi. Isoko ry’ibiyobyabwenge ku isi ryibasiwe n’ibibazo by’inganda ku nganda z’ibanze zikora, bigatuma umusaruro ugabanuka. Byongeye kandi, kwiyongera kw'ibiyobyabwenge mu bihugu bikennye kandi biciriritse, aho igituntu gikunze kugaragara, byongereye ingufu urwego rutanga.

Ibura rya Rifampicin ryateje impuguke mu buzima ndetse n’abakangurambaga bahangayitse, bafite impungenge z’uko kubura uyu muti w’ingenzi bishobora gutuma umubare w’ababana n’igituntu wiyongera ndetse no kurwanya ibiyobyabwenge. Yagaragaje kandi ko hakenewe ishoramari ryinshi mu bushakashatsi n’iterambere ry’igituntu, ndetse no kugera ku buryo burambye bwo kubona imiti yingenzi mu bihugu bikennye.

Umuyobozi mukuru w’umuryango udaharanira inyungu The Global TB Alliance, Dr. Asha George yagize ati: "Ibura rya Rifampicin ni ikibazo gihangayikishije cyane, kuko gishobora gutera kunanirwa kwivuza no guteza imbere kurwanya ibiyobyabwenge." "Tugomba kumenya neza ko abarwayi bashobora kubona Rifampicin ndetse n’ibindi biyobyabwenge by’igituntu, kandi ibyo birashoboka gusa mu gihe twongereye ishoramari mu bushakashatsi n’iterambere ry’igituntu no kunoza uburyo bwo kubona imiti mu bihugu bikennye."

Ibura rya Rifampicin ryerekana kandi ko hakenewe urwego rukomeye rwo gutanga isoko ku isi ku biyobyabwenge, ikintu kikaba cyabuze cyane mu myaka yashize. Kubona imiti yoroshye nka Rifampicin ni urufunguzo rwo gufasha abantu babarirwa muri za miriyoni ku isi banduye igituntu kandi amaherezo bagatsinda indwara.

Dr. Lucica Ditiu, umunyamabanga nshingwabikorwa w’ubufatanye bw’igituntu, Dr. Lucica Ditiu yagize ati: "Ibura rya Rifampicin rigomba kuba nk'ikangurira umuryango mpuzamahanga." "Tugomba kongera ishoramari mu bushakashatsi no mu iterambere ry'igituntu no guharanira ko Rifampicine n'indi miti ihambaye ku barwayi bose b'igituntu babakeneye. Ibi ni ngombwa mu gutsinda igituntu."

Kugeza ubu, impuguke mu by'ubuzima n’abakangurambaga barahamagarira gutuza no gusaba ibihugu byibasiwe n’ububiko bwa Rifampicin no gukorana n’abafatanyabikorwa mpuzamahanga kugira ngo ibiyobyabwenge bitangwe neza. Icyizere nuko umusaruro uzahita usanzwe kandi Rifampicin izongera kuboneka kubuntu kubantu bose babikeneye cyane.

Iyi raporo yamakuru kandi ijya kwerekana ko ibura ryibiyobyabwenge atari ibintu byashize gusa, ahubwo ko ari ikibazo cyubu gikeneye kwitabwaho byihutirwa. Binyuze mu kongera ishoramari mu bushakashatsi no mu iterambere, hamwe no kurushaho kubona imiti ya ngombwa mu bihugu byinjiza amafaranga make, ni bwo dushobora kwizera ko tuzatsinda iki kibazo cy’ibura ry’ibiyobyabwenge n’ibindi bizera ko bizaza mu bihe biri imbere.
