Madagascar to set to ship the herbal tea that President Andry Rajoelina has touted as a powerful remedy against the novel coronavirus to Nigeria and other countries in West Africa and beyond.

Madagascar on Saturday delivered to Guinea-Bissau a shipment of the herbal tea.

Baptised Covid-Organics, the drink is derived from artemisia – a plant with proven efficacy in malaria treatment – and other indigenous herbs.

There is currently no scientifically proven cure for coronavirus, which has killed more than 240 000 people worldwide according to official figures

Guinea-Bissau’s self-proclaimed President Umaro Sissoco Embalo was at the airport to oversee reception of the cargo donated by Madagascar, AFP correspondents said.

After Equatorial Guinea on Thursday, Guinea-Bissau is the second country to take delivery of the potion that Madagascar claims cures Covid-19 patients within 10 days.

Embalo’s chief of staff Califa Soares Cassama told reporters that part of Saturday’s shipment was to be passed along to the other 14 members of the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas).

Rajoelina had on Friday thanked Embalo for taking charge of the distribution in West Africa.

There was no indication of how Guinea-Bissau, poor even by African standards and chronically unstable politically, would handle the required logistics

A welcome development.

I don't think so. Our ogogoro and sapele water is working wonders.

Good news we must not wait for WHO

This topic is quite offensive to say the least. So until the West test and approve before you accept it even if your neighbor says it's working.

Smh

Since Africa is used to herbs den herbs we shld try... The west always frowns at herbal concoctions so let dem keep waiting for their drugs and pills

COVID-Organics: Madagascar donates Anti-virus Potion to Equatorial Guinea

pls they should forward the donation to kano, shap shap.

Dis is FUBU...For Us By Us.

The title of this post says a lot about the mentality of Africans. The portion has been effectively used to manage COVID19 in Madagascar and we are still meant to believe that it is untested. What other test do we need other than its practical suitability to manage the Trump designated Chinese virus.

Must western institutions sanction its use before we call it tested?

Mental slavery is the worst kind of slavery.
