Madagascar on Saturday delivered to Guinea-Bissau a shipment of a herbal tea that President Andry Rajoelina has touted as a powerful remedy against the novel coronavirus and hopes to distribute across West Africa and beyond.
Baptised Covid-Organics, the drink is derived from artemisia – a plant with proven efficacy in malaria treatment – and other indigenous herbs.
There is currently no scientifically proven cure for coronavirus, which has killed more than 240 000 people worldwide according to official figures compiled by AFP
The World Health Organisation has said that the herbal tea’s effects had not been tested, and there are no published scientific studies of the potion.
Embalo’s chief of staff Califa Soares Cassama told reporters that part of Saturday’s shipment was to be passed along to the other 14 members of the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas).
Rajoelina had on Friday thanked Embalo for taking charge of the distribution in West Africa.
