In spite of the scientific advances made
by modern medicine, 75-80 percent of the population turn to
traditional medicine for health care. This medicine has
evolved with the history of mankind, and traditional
knowledge is a popular asset that is integrated into the
socio-medical environment. The OAU expressed a real interest
in the subject of traditional medicine during the first
symposium on medicinal plants and African pharmacopoeia held
in Dakar in 1968. The 1978 Alma Ata Declaration recognizes
the role of traditional medicine and traditional healers in
achieving the Health for All objective. In 1977, WHO
launched the Traditional Medicine Programme and adopted a
resolution inviting interested member states to pay
appropriate attention to the use of traditional health systems. |
