Kasonde:Zambia Could Not Go Ahead With The Manufacturing Of SONDASHI Formula

Health MINISTER Joseph Kasonde says that Zambia at the moment could not go ahead with the clinical trials on the drug because the medicine was not packaged in capsules to regulate dosages.
Dr Kasonde said the country had the research centre and scientists to do it but had no equipment to manufacture capsules for the Sondashi Formula powder. He said this before conducting a tour of the laboratories at the Tropical Disease and Research Center (TDRC) in Ndola yesterday.
He said Government would do everything possible to secure the equipment for manufacturing the capsules and called for support from interested stakeholders. “There have been a lot of concerns from the public on the Sondashi formula. I have received a lot of questions on what the ministry is doing on the treatment that is believed to cure HIV/AIDS.
“We went to the Industrial Scientific Research Centre in South Africa to have the capsules manufactured, unfortunately, they have not succeeded. We contacted their colleagues in Ethiopia but they have not given as any answers, as for now, that’s our position,” he said.
