Traditional Healing and Health Care Systems 

Traditional Healing and Health Care Systems 

In the domain of health Lelewal and her partner communities decided to valorize traditional medicine and healing systems. This medicine is from the ancestors and highly effective and less expensive. In the case of the Baka peoples traditional medicine and healing systems has remained an option to the modern medicine which is too expensive and less accessible at the communities’ level. There is a Platform that sees the valorization, protection and promotion of the Baka Traditional Healing and Health Care Systems. The objective of the platform and Lelewal is the preservation of traditional knowledge, healing and traditional medicines and the conservation and sustainable management of natural genetic and biodiversity resources that’s constitute raw materials for their healing systems.
