IN FORT PORTAL—-

Herbalists have been tasked to always scrutinize the herbs they use noting that some of them are harmful to people’s lives.

This was observed by chairperson for Bundibugyo district Mutegeki Ronald in a meeting organized by Bundibugyo herbalist and traditional healers under their umbrella Uganda Bwanga Bwamirembe cultural Association network of traditional healers and birth attendants held at Bundibugyo community hall yesterday.

Mutegeki however showed his dissatisfaction with the herbal packaging noting that poor packaging has compromised sanitation in the place hence causing abnormal cases leading to poor living health conditions in the area.

Yunusu Nguru the chairperson of the herbalists, urged the government to raise its support to them as one way of improving the lives of the people as this will stop people from attending to witch crafts.

While speaking to Mk news link.com reporter, the RDC Bundibugyo district Mucunguzi Geofrey asked the herbalists and traditional healers to join hands and also teach people on the measures of preventing HIV/AIDS.
