The growing recognition of traditional medicine resulted in the first World Health Organization global summit on the topic, in August 2023, with the theme “Health and Wellbeing for All”.

Key Points: 
  • The growing recognition of traditional medicine resulted in the first World Health Organization global summit on the topic, in August 2023, with the theme “Health and Wellbeing for All”.
  • Traditional medicines are widely used in South Africa, with up to 60% of South Africans estimated to be reliant on traditional medicine as a primary source of healthcare .
  • Recognition of traditional medicine as an alternative or joint source of healthcare to that of standard, conventional medicine has proven challenging.

What are traditional medicines?

    • Traditional medicine encompasses a number of healthcare practices aimed at either preventing or treating acute or chronic complaints through the application of indigenous knowledge, beliefs and approaches.
    • Traditional medicine practices also have a place in ritualistic activities and communicating with ancestors.
    • The harvested plants are most often sold at traditional medicine muthi markets.

      There are many ways in which traditional medicine may be used.

    • Harvesting of the roots, however, poses concerns about the conservation of these medicinal plants.
    • The South African government, with the draft policy on African traditional medicine Notice 906 of 2008 outlines considerations aimed at ensuring the conservation of these plants through counteracting unsustainable harvesting practises.

Obstacles to traditional medicine use

    • The limited research investigating interactions posed should a patient be making use of both traditional and conventional medicine is a concern.
    • During the COVID-19 pandemic, many patients used traditional remedies for the prevention of infection or treatment.

Sharing information


    The WHO in its Traditional Medicine Strategy for 2014-2023 report emphasised the need for using traditional medicine to achieve increased healthcare. Key role players from both systems of healthcare need to be able to share information freely. The need for policy development is key. Both conventional and traditional medicine practitioners would need to be aware of and engage with patients on all the medicines they are taking.

Understanding the whole patient

    • A comprehensive understanding of a patient’s health profile makes care easier.
    • This could also prevent treatment failures, promote patient safety, prevent adverse interactions and minimise risks.
