Traditional medicine practitioners, according to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, are more than just doctors and do not require relocation like doctors because they are part
of their communities.
“Two decades of African Traditional Medicine Day: Progress Toward Achieving Universal Health Coverage,” was the theme of his speech, which he gave on the occasion of African Traditional Medicine Day.
The governor stated that there were 10,000 registered traditional practitioners compared to 4,000 doctors.
Prof. Akin Abayomi, the commissioner for health, said they offer health and well-being.
He said that in order to standardize the system, the government would give the Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board (LSTMB) the authority to regulate practitioners and their products. He issued a warning that practitioners who do not register should not be permitted to practice or run the danger of facing consequences.
According to Mrs. Folashade Sherifat Jaji, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), around 80% of Africans rely on traditional medicine.
The Director of Political and Special Services (PASS), Mrs. Olabisi Shonibare, was represented by Mrs. Jaji, who stated: “Lagos State has continued to demonstrate commitment to delivery of an effective and efficient health system for Lagosians under the Health/Environment pillar of T.H.E.M.E.S agenda.
