INVESTIGATION: Poorly regulated alternative medicine endangers Hepatitis B patients in Abuja

Gertrude Inyang, an alternative medicine practitioner, sat behind the glass table in her office at Cherry Zephyr Clinic and Spa, Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja on July 17, 2024.

She nodded her head at intervals, as she listened to the reporter seated across the table, posing as a chronic HBV patient in search of a cure.

“We cure, we don’t treat,” Ms Inyang said during the consultation. “We don’t manage such conditions, we treat holistically.”
