Kanifing — Two women under president Jammeh's AIDS treatment were recently expelled from the treatment at the Kanifing Jammeh HIV Hospital under dubious circumstances that the president could not understand, the Freedom Newspaper can reveal.
Two HIV/AIDS patients were finally expelled even when the women cried and pleaded with those concerned persons to talk to the president not to expel them. One of the ladies from Brikama cried and said her children would suffer if she leaves the place.
Sources close to the hospital stated that some "toubabs" white men went to visit those ladies because they had been friends, during their ailments. Upon visiting them they were later asked to leave the place because thy had brought people who do not believe in the president's treatment. But the white people did not have at the back of their minds but only to see thier friends that they feel sorry for because each of them have a real pathetic story.
In a separate development, the smell of the hospital is sickening. The stench shows a symbol of people dead and smelling. The place looks clean but the smell is horrible. This reporter could not bear the smell and the horrible site of the under the medication.
Some were not looking at all well. Some had stopped taking the western medicine and their conditions have deteriorated. Looking at their situation one would say they need more food and proper medication instead of the concoction given to them. Others believe that the concoction given has created the horrible smell that the President himself has avoided for some time now. The sick there need urgent attention or else the president would be burying more patients than he claims.
