Health Minister Zweli Mkhize on Wednesday said Madagascar had reached out for 'help' with scientific research on the herbal potion.

The Covid-Organics infusion is derived from artemisia — a plant with proven anti-malarial properties — and other indigenous herbs. But the World Health Organization has repeatedly warned that there are no published scientific studies of the herbal tea and that its effects have not been tested. “I can understand the need, the drive to find something that can help,” Moeti said. “But we would very much like to encourage this scientific process in which the governments themselves made a commitment.”

The country has the highest number of coronavirus cases in sub-Saharan Africa, with 7,808 infections and 153 fatalities recorded to date.

We used to consume this potion during our childhood

Oh okay😴😴😴 . WHO is not exactly the end or last word on what's supposedly good for Africans...they should focus on where the virus originated from - lab or bats and their trouble with USA. We'll manage..vaccines have too many side effects as well

Never such cautions for a drug called ARVs

Lucky we have it in most places! African Rich soil! Viva

So WHO wants to give us vacine, why are they not told by our leaders that Africans have been drinking that herbal medicine for centuries. This WHO here hee.

We will use them

It's not gone through their institutions (clinical trials) so even if it helps they will be against it

Did they caution on Bill Gates controversial vaccine..? Hey, we have been taking lengana/umhlonyane without their approval maan,their caution means nothing to some of us,I have plant in my backyard anyway...

WHO are pushing Bill gates mandate for vaccine... Rise Madagascar rise it's time for Africa to promote africa

We dont care what WHO says..they must control the Americans and Europeans... whether it cures or not,we are taking it.. we have nothing to lose..

Let them go to hell We don't need their European approval tsek

Who can go and hug a transformer, Africa have found the cure!! Period!!

😠😠😠

Why?

WHO se poes they are not responsible for our lives wtf is wrong with these people who want to control us
