There has been no update on the use of the COVID herbs which was strongly disapproved by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Liberia. Health authorities often shied away from questions relating to its use in Liberia since its arrival into the country. Appearing before the Joint Legislature Committee on Public Account (PAC), Health Minister, Dr. Wilhemina Jallah, confirmed that US$71,500 was used to procure the condemned covid-19 herb. “The West Africa Health Organization (WAHO) didn’t approved the herb, the herb was a donation and the transport cost was shared by the countries the flight went to. The flight didn’t leave from Madagascar to Liberia, it originated from Guinea Bissau and went to couple of countries,” Senator Snowe said.
