The Federal and state governments have been advised to explore the field of alternative medicine in its fight against COVID-19 pandemic in the country rather than paying lip service to ending the spread. Alternative medicine practitioners under the aegis of the Nigerian Association of Physicians of Natural Medicine (NAPNM), made this call in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Monday. Except late Professor Olikoye Ransom-Kuti, former Minister of Health, no other health minister considered alternative medicine. Bank-Kadejo,said: “Like the Madagascar portion, our products can also be subjected to clinical trial for the treatment of the virus. “My advice to the government is that they should be serious about their readiness to involve the alternative medicine practitioners rather than politicising everything,” he added.
