Established by the Traditional Medical Practitioners Act, we have been at the forefront of advocating for the recognition and integration of traditional healers within the national healthcare system.
Our practitioners are skilled in herbal medicine, spiritual healing, and other traditional practices passed down through generations — serving communities where access to modern medicine can be limited.
To ensure traditional medical practices are safe, effective, and accessible to all Zimbabweans — bridging the gap between traditional and modern medicine.
