Madagascar Starts COVID Clinical Trials by ewomazino2017(m): 2:02am On May 06, 2020 |
Madagascan president Andry Rajoelina has announced that clinical trials will start today (May 4) with COVID-Organics. A factory will also be built within a month to boost its production. The president disclosed the developments during a national address on Sunday during which he extended the state of health emergency in the southern African island nation by 15 days.

It will be administered in other forms such as injections,” Rajoelina posted on Twitter. The antiviral properties of Artemisia – the anti-malarial plant at the base of COVID-Organics and its role in building immune capacity have been proven, he added without giving details. “Thanks to this discovery, international researchers and doctors have proposed the construction of the largest cancer center in Africa in Madagascar,” the president disclosed.

The profile of the drug has been boosted after about half a dozen African leaders publicly endorsed it and requested for consignments. The Malagasy government has so far been distributing it for free in the country and all shipped consignments are for free. Presidents of Tanzania, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Comoros, DR Congo, Senegal and the Republic of Congo have congratulated Madagascar for their bold step in combating the rampaging global virus.

ewomazino2017: You have not even started clinical trials, yet you're already boasting about 'cure'! In Africa, the cart is always set before the horse. Now during clinical trials, it'll eventually be found to be useless or even harmful, and discarded. At times, being "African" appears to mean doing things the wrong way, or even being foolish. Do your research first, and prove your products before going public. This is not 15th century; it's 21st century. 4 Likes 1 Share |

That is what i have been telling people. You cannot claim you have cure for a disease without clinical trials. This is typical of African scholars Prof Iwu inclusive. If you do not want clinical trials, you can sell your drugs as supplements. Humans are not rats. 1 Like |

I understand ur point but what good is remdesivir a drug with no survival rate,no known efficacy and which can pose serious side effects. Why can’t UN and WHO stop such drugs from being used on patients. All this people that have been drinking Agbo From inception did they die. Madagascar should just keep their covid organics and give it to reasonable countries that are interested There are already clinical trials on artemisia leaves very similar to artemisinin based combination. |
