The Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) says Kenya could roll out its first batch of Traditional Complementary and Integrative Medicine into the market by the year 2030, if adequate funding is secured and sustained government support is guaranteed.
This medication will first target non-communicable diseases such as cancer and hypertension. KEMRI notes that one of the biggest challenges facing the sector is the lack of clear regulatory frameworks.
This gap, the institute warns, has created room for the infiltration of unqualified and unscrupulous herbal practitioners, undermining public trust and patient safety.
