The Social Emergency Plan (PES) Pedro Romero, from its Health program, articulated with the Zenú de Membrillal Indigenous Council (CAIZEM) started the rescue and strengthening of the practices of Ancestral and Traditional Medicine (MAT), for the benefit in health of councils and Community Councils in situations of extreme poverty.
They began with the first stage to care for the Afro and indigenous population, through spiritual harmonization ceremonies, from the thought, knowledge and autonomy of indigenous peoples, also with traditional medicine treatments.

Likewise, they are advancing with the characterization of 1000 people from the Afro-descendant and indigenous councils and Community Councils of Bayunca, Pontezuela and Santa Ana, who will be the first to receive the traditional medicine service, thanks to the care of doctors who are knowledgeable regarding this ethnic group. .
“The expected result with the agreement will be of great impact, because we will make ancestral medicine known in Cartagena as a strategy to strengthen ethnic, Afro and indigenous knowledge. We continue to consolidate ourselves as that alternative medicine from the law of origin, which allows healing in the mental health of young people and adults, in a context of a city that has been marginalized for a long time by this scourge as important as mental health ”, affirmed Leovigildo Castillo, ancestral doctor.
They will carry out the days of health promotion and disease prevention, in which they will receive comprehensive care in the ceremonies of healing and recovery of the being, which include the sacred plants, the dance of the yonna, a healing from the song and drum; and other ethnic rituals.

“It is good that young people take into account that this ancestral knowledge, which has been lost over time, can save the lives of many people. I have high expectations with the attention sessions that will be held, because much knowledge that was forgotten will be rescued,” said Mary Rodríguez, a member of the Afro-descendant community of Santa Ana.
