Episode description

In Africa, herbal treatments are used to heal viruses in the absence of  modern medicine, but disinformation about these treatments and how they  can cure COVID-19 is having a deadly impact. Government officials and  local healers out to make money sell these treatments with fake news.  Congolese journalist Patrice Chitera, who has used these treatments for  his ailments in the past, adds his own story as well as those impacted  by these herbal meds. Patrice questions who to hold accountable for the  loss of lives in a country where there’s little trust of those in power.
