Kyogabirwe returns in good health after cancer scare
Kazo District Local Government marked a momentous occasion yesterday as it celebrated the return of Principal Assistant Secretary (PAS) Kyogabirwe Devine who has been away in India undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
Kyogabirwe was diagnosed with cancer in late November last year, a period she described as challenging and emotionally taxing. Despite the difficulties, she remained resilient maintaining faith and hope throughout her medical journey.
Expressing her gratitude upon her return, Kyogabirwe thanked the district leadership, staff, friends and the community for their unwavering support during her fight with cancer. She also appreciated the district administration for contributing towards her costly treatment in India.
During her address at the senior management meeting held at the district council hall, she paid special tribute to her supervisor, Chief Administrative Officer, Hajji Badru Mayanja Majwala for his steadfast support. She also extended heartfelt thanks to Ugandans, local leaders and community members for their encouragement and assistance.
Kyogabirwe shared encouraging news that specialists in India confirmed she is now cancer-free. However, she emphasized that she will continue to follow medical advice and remain on prescribed treatment to ensure her full recovery.
She also acknowledged the vital support received from the district boss, Rev. Samuel Mugisha Katugunda and area Member of Parliament, Hon. Dan Atwijukire Kimosho praising their significant contributions to her medical journey.
In his remarks, Hajji Mayanja commended his staff for their unity and compassion describing their collective support for Madam Kyogabirwe as a model for community living. “I am proud of your cooperation and urge you to continue,” he stated.
The district’s senior management team welcomed Kyogabirwe back with joy and celebration filling the council hall with happiness as they saw her return in good health.
Notably, in September, friends, district staff and the wider community organized a marathon to raise funds for her treatment and to promote awareness about cancer, its early detection and prevention.
