Dr.
Richard Fru of the Garden of Eden has called on the government of Cameroon to
regularize the traditional medicine system which according to him will go a
long way to give the practice the respect and order it rightfully deserves.
He made the call
last week at his Wonya Mavio, Mile 18 Garden of Eden conference hall during a
press briefing as one of the activities organized to commemorate the fifteen
edition of the African traditional medicine day.

Speaking to the
over twenty journalist of the audiovisual and print media, Dr. Richard Fru lamented
over the fact that even though traditional medicine has proven beyond
reasonable doubts to be effective, the government has continued to relegate it
to the back yard.
The CEO of the
Garden of Eden in a chat with the press expressed dismay over the fact that
even though traditional medicine is as old as human origin, it’s at the brink
of extinction in Cameroon due to government’s continual crackdown and
bottlenecks.
To him, the
government needs to integrate traditional medicine into the modern society blending
it with the present health system, ensure regular and continual support and
even pass a law to regularize and govern the practice.
Dr. Fru Richard
noted that if a board is created to scan practitioners and issue licenses to
all who venture into the practice, in the years to come, traditional medicine
in Cameroon which according to the World Health Organization, WHO, provides
health support for over 80% of those living in the African continent, will
conquer the world.
Pilling
questions from the press, His Healer expressed optimism that with sufficient
funding, and promotion by the government and Cameroonians, Cameroon traditional
medicine will take its right place in the world.
