The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr Tunji Alausa, disclosed this in Abuja at the commemoration of the 2023 African Traditional Medicine Day, with the theme ‘The Contribution of Traditional Medicine to Holistic Health and Well-being for All.’
He said, “It is on record that Nigeria has been observing the ATM Day for the past two decades with activities for awareness creation and promotion of appropriate use and practice of traditional medicine in the country. With about 80 per cent of the rural population using traditional medicine as a primary form of health care, traditional medicine has made an invaluable contribution to the health and well-being for all.
“Studies have shown that traditional medicine use in Nigeria is as high as 81.6 per cent, and this is not expected to be on the decline in the near future, especially in the face of the predicted increase in the global burden of diseases.”
