Traditional Medicine And Technology

Indeed the minister’s advice has hit the bull on the horn. Traditional medicine can no longer afford its traditional secrecy, when it is dolled out at night under the cover of darkness so that villagers do not know which traditional doctors’ help one is seeking. The traditional secrecy of traditional healing has in fact over time contributed in the failure to experience growth by some of the healers whose talent has had to go with them to the grave, without the benefit of marketing and mass distribution on the shelves of stores.

There is no doubt that Botswana’s natural flora and fauna is endowed with natural herbs that when properly packaged, marketed and distributed, could contribute immensely to economic growth.
