Mata Gaham ? Comment ça va la santé ?

In Niger, people settle for basic medicine distributed by health centres, contraband medicine or traditional amulets that are supposed to protect oneself against evil. All the while, an alternative exists. This alternative has existed for thousands of years and just waits to be fully developed : medicine that is produced from African plants. While Casimir Azandeme, the young director of the herb cultivation facility Bani Turi, is trying to distribute his newly produced medicine, Damouré Zika, an old traditional healer, has always used them. The only thing left is to convince the politicians that local resources and ancient traditions have become a contemporary and efficient, a new path for development.
