The Traditional Healers' Organisation has welcomed government's initiative of conducting scientific research into traditional medicines.

An African Traditional Medicines and Intellectual Property Workshop was held in Pretoria this week.

Traditional healers say they want to be involved when the research is conducted.

They say everyone will benefit if traditional medicines are well profiled and recognised.

Research has shown that the majority of South Africans consult traditional healers.
