Zimbabwean News You Can Trust
Cancer patients have received a timely boost as Ivory Medical launched cannabis CannaQure herb in Harare Wednesday, claiming their new medicine was capable of reducing pain from patients with cancer.
Addressing journalists on the sidelines of the launch, Dr. Zorodzai Maroveke said they have received positive testimonies on how their product has managed pain from cancer patients, insisting the herb cannot heal cancer but only manages it.
“In Zimbabwe, they are still doing trials for the homegrown data on how many patients have seen this effect. Doctors who have been prescribing most of the feedback have been on the cancer patients, and they are reporting positive results in pain management. The herb cannot heal cancer, but it manages pain,” she said.
According to statistics from the Cancer Association of Zimbabwe (CAZ) the most frequently occurring cancers among Zimbabweans of all races were cervix uteri (21 percent), prostate (11 percent), breast (eight percent), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (5 percent), esophagus (4 percent), kaposi sarcoma (4 percent), colo-rectal (4 percent), stomach (3 percent) and liver (3 percent).
Meanwhile, Ivory Medicine General Manager Nash Kadzinga said the introduction of CannaQure cannabis medicine will transform the country’s health sector, as it creates an alternative treatment for patients with various diseases.
“This launch is more than an introduction of a new product, it is a milestone in Zimbabwe’s healthcare evolution. CanaQure embodies our vision to provide safe, effective, and accessible medical cannabis products that meet the needs of patients looking for alternative treatments. Today, we are proud to offer people a reliable, natural, and scientifically grounded option.
“Our focus on education, transparency, and quality is at the core of our mission, and we believe that with CannaQure, we can lead a new era of healthcare in Zimbabwe, where patients have choice to nature’s remedies and enhance their wellness,” he said.
As stated by Ivory Medical, the CannaQure product line offers a range of cannabis based therapeutic products designed to support those suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, stress, sleep challenges, and more.
