Govt threatens to prosecute faith & traditional leaders who claim to cure people living with HIV

Responding to a question by Gokwe MP Dorothy Mhangami (Zanu PF) in the National Assembly on Wednesday, Health and Child Care deputy minister Aldrin Musiiwa said traditional and faith healers who mislead people about the treatment of HIV risked being prosecuted.

Said Musiiwa:

At present there is no cure for HIV and if there are traditional and faith healers that claim a cure, it is malpractice and they must be prosecuted. Such practices are done by bogus healers that are not registered by the Traditional Medicines Council. We now have a Statutory Instrument that will prosecute traditional healers that advise patients on ARVs to refrain from medicines.
