The president of Madagascar Andry Rajoelina officially launched a local herbal remedy
believed can prevent and cure patients suffering from COVID-19.
The herbal remedy has been developed by Congolese Doctor, Dr. Jerome Munyagi in
partnership with the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research and branded COVID
Organics. President Andry Rajaolina presented the remedy to the press on Monday.
COVID Organics contains Artemisia, a plant cultivated on the Big Island to fight against
malaria. In other parts of Africa, Artemisia is cultivated in Cameroon, Kenya,Ethiopia,
South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia – all in high-altitude regions
and/or regions with a pronounced cool period.
“All trials and tests have been conducted and its effectiveness in reducing the
elimination of symptoms has been proven for the treatment of patients with COVID-19
in Madagascar,” the president said.
