Ghana Receives Madagascar 'Cure' For COVID-19

The Ministry of Information has disclosed that Ghana has received samples of the popular Madagascar COVID-19 herbal mixture.

In a tweet, the Ministry said testing has begun to confirm its efficacy.

"We have received the Madagascar cure for Covid19 and we are testing it for efficacy," the tweet read.

The tonic is produced from the artemisia plant – the source of an ingredient used in a malaria treatment – and other Malagasy plants.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has, however, not endorsed this herbal mixture because there is not yet evidence or proof that it can cure COVID-19.
