Zimbabwe commemorates Traditional Medicine Day
Matopos, 30 Sept. 2010. Zimbabwe commemorated a belated African Traditional Medicine Day at the Ndebele Cultural Village in the picturesque Matopos valley. The commemoration brought together traditional healers, the Traditional Medicines Practitioners Council (TMPC), and the Lushumbe community, who are some of the consumers of traditional medicine.
In a speech read on his behalf, the Deputy Minister of Health and Child Welfare, Dr D. Mombeshora appreciated the role played by traditional healers, especially in rural areas where health centers are few and far between.
