Mali\u2019s Traditional Medicine systems are deeply rooted in the cultural knowledge of the Bambara, Dogon, Fulani and Songhai peoples. Healing practices include herbal therapies, Islamic spiritual healing (<\/span>maraboutage<\/span><\/i>) and community-based midwifery. Traditional practitioners are often the first point of care for many Malians, especially in rural areas where biomedical services may be limited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mali is one of the first African countries to implement a\u00a0National Traditional Medicine Policy, beginning in 1986. The policy supports training, research and integration through formal practitioner registration and national pharmacopoeia development. Traditional Medicine units have been integrated into some public health facilities, reflecting a mature approach to intercultural health governance.<\/span><\/p>\n","slide_images":[{"ID":160,"id":160,"title":"default-2","filename":"default-2.jpg","filesize":632931,"url":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/afro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/default-2.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/afro\/countries\/angola\/default-2\/","alt":"","author":"6","description":"","caption":"","name":"default-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":151,"date":"2025-05-29
