For Paul Wainaina, Kenyatta University’s vice-chancellor, the cooperation between the two universities comes at the right time he said. “We used to have a small laboratory where we would analyze the efficacy of various herbal concoctions, but the laboratory was inadequate,” he further elaborated “We want to be able to commercialize what we have.”

Li Kejian, president of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the envisioned centre would evolve into a comprehensive hub for traditional medicine services and cultural outreach. While it would primarily target Kenya, its influence would span across East Africa and potentially all of Africa.

Sun Licheng, vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the Shandong Provincial People’s Congress, emphasized Shandong efforts in championing traditional medicine as an emerging industry.

“The province is keen on pioneering a series of innovative traditional medicines and is enthusiastic about collaborating with Kenya, which would encompass robust industrial partnerships, standard making and deepened cultural exchanges in traditional medicine,” Said the Vice-Chairman in his address
