THE World Health Organisation’s regional director for Africa, Dr Matshidiso Moeti has called on governments on the continent to collaborate with traditional health practitioners to improve the health and well-being of Africa’s people.
Moeti’s words come as the continent this week marks #AfricanTraditionalMedicineWeek and #AfricanTraditionalMedicineDay today.
The theme this year is Progress Towards Achieving Universal Health Coverage in Africa, intended to reflect on the progress of including African traditional medicine in national health systems.
To discuss indigenous herbalism, we had Gogo Manzi Mlambo from the Traditional Health Practitioner’s Council.
