Edo Traditional Medicines Board Revamped Under New Edo Vision - Ugbesia


Habiba Sam 

Edo State is on the verge of a revolution in traditional medicine, with the Edo State Traditional Medicines Board poised to restructure and regulate the sector.

 High Chief Dr. Abudu Ugbesia, Chairman of the Board, emphasized the need to eliminate quackery, uphold ethical standards, and promote the benefits of traditional medicine to complement orthodox medical practices.

Chief Ugbesia stressed that traditional medicine is a natural and knowledge-driven practice that requires expertise to be effective. 
He acknowledged that quacks and fraudsters exist in traditional medicine, just as they do in orthodox medicine, but emphasized that human life is precious and such harmful practices will not be tolerated.

The Board plans to register and profile all traditional medicine practitioners across the state, with registration forms available across the three senatorial districts.

This move aims to regulate the sector and ensure that only qualified practitioners are allowed to operate.

Chief Ugbesia also highlighted the need for collaboration between traditional and orthodox medical practitioners. He pointed out that there are medical conditions that modern doctors cannot treat, but traditional healers can, and vice versa.

This collaboration, he believes, can help reduce needless deaths in orthodox hospitals.

As Edo State rises, the Edo State Traditional Medicines Board is rising with it, poised to bring about a new era in traditional medicine practice in the state.
