Gen­er­ally, this is a pos­i­tive step con­sid­er­ing how many peo­ple rely on tra­di­tional heal­ers and the rest for med­ical con­sul­ta­tion (par­tic­u­larly in the rural areas). By gen­er­ally, I’d say 3 out 4 times. It’s the 1 out of 4 who are legit­i­mate crack-pots that worry me. I would hope that there’s some accred­i­ta­tion process in the works.

Con­sid­er­ing the san­goma that I’ve met, I can’t really imag­ine how a mal­prac­tice claim would unfold.
