Hospitals could soon employ traditional healers

SABCnews.com "State hospitals could be required by law, in future, to employ the services of traditional healers. That is according to Health Minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang.

The Minister met traditional practitioners today to discuss the draft national policy that will regulate their profession.

The Traditional Health Practitioners Act was passed in 2005. The aim is to integrate traditional healing into the mainstream health system. But traditional healers say it’s taking too long. They were assured today that the process will be speeded up."
