African traditional medicines remain an integral part of society and healthcare, but realising their full value will require stronger quality assurance, safety monitoring, evidence generation, accurate dosing, standardised production and clear labelling.

This was the message from the Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) as the country marked African Traditional Medicine Day, joining Cabinet Secretary for Health Hon. Aden Duale and other stakeholders in an exhibition reinforced by a panel discussion on regulatory oversight of traditional medicines.

Representing CEO Dr. Ahmed Mohamed, Dr. Edwin Burugu, Head of Herbal and Complementary Medicines at PPB, called on practitioners to embrace ethical practices to safeguard public health.

Speaking on a panel themed “From Tradition to Evidence, Regulation and Integration – Mandates, Achievements, Challenges and Opportunities,” Dr. Burugu emphasised the need to follow regulatory guidance to protect public health.

He added that regulation should not be seen as a barrier, but as an opportunity to protect consumers, support practitioners, safeguard traditional knowledge, and build confidence in African traditional medicines.
