Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina on Monday batted away criticism for promoting a homegrown
“remedy” for COVID-19, charging that the West has a condescending attitude toward traditional African medicine.
The World Health Organization has repeatedly warned that the COVID-Organics infusion, which Rajoelina has touted as a remedy against the deadly coronavirus, has not been clinically tested. “I think the problem is that comes from Africa and they can’t admit… that a country like Madagascar… has come up with this formula to save the world,” said Rajoelina, who claims the infusion cures patients within 10 days.
“No country or organisation will keep us from going forward,” Rajoelina said in response to the WHO’s concerns.Madagascar has officially reported 183 coronavirus infections and 105 recoveries, with no deaths.
