"Long before the colonialists' arrival, Africans possessed a rich tradition of healthcare and a sophisticated system of traditional medicine, treating diseases with herbs, minerals, and other methods. Their approach was rooted in a deep understanding of the natural world, allowing them to distinguish beneficial plants from harmful ones. This knowledge passed down through generations, ensured that healthcare was accessible to all within their communities."- Professor Seggane Musisi in Episode One on Decolonising the Legacy of Colonial Medicine.
