The Gambia has taken delivery of a donation of Madagascar’s CovidOrganics, a herbal coronavirus cure.

African nations including Senegal have been reaching out to the East African Island nation after the cure reportedly proved effective. WHO has however advised against the use of the medication.

But African countries have ignored WHO’s advice and some including Senegal and Nigeria have been ordering the cure.

Madagascar has also been donating a piece of the cure to countries across Africa and State House said today The Gambia has received a ‘consignment consignment of three boxes’.

“The consignment is part of a gift to ECOWAS countries towards the fight against COVID-19. They have been delivered to the Ministry of Health,” State House said in a statement.
