STORYLINE:
Kenya hosted a conference on Monday to promote the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) across Africa.
The one-day International Expert Forum on China-Africa Partnership for Women's and Children's Health featured a high-profile delegation from central China's Hunan Province, and included cultural and fashion shows showcasing traditional costumes from both countries.
Siambi Kikete, lecturer at Kenyatta University's Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, pointed out that Kenya lacks sufficient access to effective medicines for treating common ailments affecting mothers and children.
SOUNDBITE 1 (English): SIAMBI KIKETE, Lecturer at Kenyatta University's Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry
"So we want to learn from the practices in China and how they take care of the young children especially between 0 to 5 years old, because those are the children who are most vulnerable for diseases such as infectious diseases. And so we want to see the best practice from China and see what we can borrow and learn and also try to practice here in Kenya, so that we can improve the healthcare of our people."
During the forum, three Kenyatta University students were selected for a two-week training course at Hunan University of Chinese Medicine starting this October.
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): KEVIN OGENDI GEKARA, Bachelor of pharmacy student at Kenyatta University
"(I appreciate) this opportunity for us to go to China and learn more about traditional Chinese medicine and come back to Kenya advocating for traditional Chinese medicine in our healthcare, so that we have an integrated system of healthcare."
SOUNDBITE 3 (English): ANNE AORO, Pharmacy student at Kenyatta University
"I hope to actually come to view their point of traditional practice the same way they view it over there and then if we try and implement it in Kenya and actually not implement but have a change of perspective or change of thinking on how you can implement traditional medicine into the current conventional system."
