Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>A renowned Ghanaian Naturopathic Professor, medical and science writer, author, and columnist, Prof. Raphael Nyarkotey Obu, a Bar student at the Gambia Law School, Banjul, will deliver an expert lecture on the need for National legislation on Traditional and Alternative Medicine in the Gambia. The event is scheduled for the 1st July 2023, at the Gambia College, Brikama, at 12 Noon.<\/b><\/p>\n

The programme is under the auspices of the National Traditional Healers Association of The Gambia<\/b> (TRAHASS<\/b>). Prof. Nyarkotey has been championing the national legislation on traditional and alternative medicine in the Gambia since he arrived from Ghana to pursue his legal education at the Gambia Law School in 2022. He has succeeded in raising huge awareness of scientific natural remedies with his prolific writings in the national dailies.<\/p>\n

He also petitioned the Minister of Health of the Gambia this year to take action on traditional medicine. The theme for the event is \u201cLegislative Regulation of Traditional and Alternative Complementary Medicine Practitioners in the Gambia: A Tool for Recognition in the Healthcare System\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n

For decades, traditional healers in the Gambia have been fighting for national recognition in the healthcare system but all their efforts proved futile. The conference will attract over 500 healers over the country and abroad to deliberate on the need for the importance of legislation in the Gambia.<\/p>\n
