Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has debunked claims that Ghana has received samples of Madagascar’s Covid Organics, a herbal medicine alleged to be a cure for Covid-19.
Rather, he explained that they have reached out to Madagascar’s government on their supposed cure and the drug will be tested for its efficacy.
The Information Minister was clarifying an earlier report put out on the Twitter page of the Information Ministry.
We have received the Madagascar cure for Covid19 and we are testing it for efficacy - @konkrumah #AskTheInfoMinistry #Covid19

Mr Oppong-Nkrumah also indicated that they have received local herbal cure from various herbal centres in the country and all are being tested to determine their efficacy.
Ghana’s Food and Drugs Authority would be expected to study the drugs and give a recommendation on it.
