Abstract

This paper offers an insight into the COVID-19 debacle as it highlights the ravaging impact of the disease and the struggle faced across the globe to overcome it. It took a brief account of the history of Traditional Medicine and its proven efficacy in overcoming all forms of human illnesses across historical milieu. It also adapted a Marxist approach in explaining the strained relationship between Modern and Traditional healthcare practitioners, the failures of the modern healthcare system in meeting the health demands of the people and the many biases and prejudices on Traditional Medicine by the proponents of the Modern Healthcare proponents. It further delved into the potentials of Traditional Medicine in overcoming COVID-19 by identifying some traditional herbs and plants with proven antiviral and immune bosting potentials and recommended the need for genuine efforts at promoting a relationship of cooperation and mutual respect and bridging the equity gap that currently exists.
