COVID-19 herbal cure: Why President of Madagascar is angry with WHO

LAGOS, Nigeria – President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina is angry with the World Health Organisation(WHO). He is angry that several weeks after it launched Covid-Organics (CVO), an organic herbal concoction, which he claims can prevent and cure patients suffering from Coronavirus pandemic, WHO is yet to endorse the drug for worldwide distribution.

Speaking on the drug, WHO Regional Director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, advised the government of Madagascar to take the product through a clinical trial adding that WHO is prepared to collaborate with them.

“We would caution and advise countries against adopting a product that has not been through clinical tests for safety and efficacy. We are concerned about the impact that COVID-19 will have on the ability of African countries to progress towards Universal health coverage.

“We know that to stop the spread of this virus, key public health measures need to be in place in every community… even where cases have not been reported, readiness capacities should be prepositioned,” the WHO official said.

Expressing his frustrations, Andry Rajoelina queried, “If it were a European country which had discovered this remedy, would there be so many doubts,” he said in an exclusive interview with France 24, Paris-based international television news network and Radio France International.

”The problem is that it comes from Africa. And they cannot accept that a country like Madagascar, which is one of the poorest countries in the world, has discovered this formula to save the world,” he added.

Andry Rajoelina said there was a marked improvement in the health the patients who received this remedy just 24 hours after they took the first dose. “The cure was noted after seven days, even ten days. This remedy is natural and non-toxic,” he added.
