Dr. Jérôme Munyangi is the man behind the drafting of a protocol which led to the manufacture of Covid-organics, miracle remedy of the Malagasy government for the prevention, and the treatment of Coronavirus.
“…I am the author of the proposal for the protocol on all African governments of Covid Artemisia,” Dr. Jérôme Munyangi told a Congolese journalist during an exclusive interview.
For the past six years, Dr. Jérôme Munyangi has been working on an alternative malaria treatment based on Artemisia, a tropical plant also found in East Africa and already marketed for its medicinal properties.

Dr. Jérôme Munyangi obtained his medical degree from the University of Kinshasa. After his Masters at Paris Diderot University and another at the University of Ottawa, he was recruited in 2011 by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a researcher on neglected tropical diseases.
As other countries across the globe are confused on how to get a vaccine or cure for the novel Coronavirus Madagascar announced recently that it had a herbal concoction that was successful against Coronavirus in a span of seven days.
Congolese President, Felix Tshisekedi, has instructed his Ambassador in France to immediately deliver a Congolese passport to Dr. Jérôme Munyangi in Madagascar and facilitate his travel to the capital Kinshasa.
Indeed, the President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina, officially introduced the bottled herb saying it will be a preventative measure against the disease.
The drink was developed by the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research, a private organization that for more than 30 years has researched the uses of Madagascar’s traditional medicines. The label on the bottle does not list the ingredients but the president said it is made from artemisia, a bitterroot that is used in some malaria drugs.
Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina promoted the drink, Covid-Organics, on national television saying it will “change the course of history.”
“What we want to do today is to popularize this drink to protect our population,” said Rajoelina on television and then drank a bottle of the concoction.
The drink is being distributed for free in some schools that are reopening and in poor neighborhoods. Elsewhere it is being sold for about 30 cents for an 11-ounce bottle.
“School children should be given this to drink… little by little throughout the day,” President Rajoelina told the diplomats and dignitaries gathered for the launch of Covid-Organics at the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research (Imra), which developed the tonic.
Madagascar is an Indian Ocean island nation of 26 million people. 92 of Madagascar’s 128 Coronavirus patients have recovered, leaving 36 active cases. None of them have died. Madagascar is using their own medicine to treat the disease.
As their high school reopened after being closed for a month due to the Coronavirus, students in Madagascar’s capital city were given face masks and a small bottle of an herbal extract they were told to drink to protect them from Coronavirus.
There are no approved drugs for COVID-19 and numerous treatments and vaccines are currently being tested around the world.
