Arthur Jarvis University Introduces Traditional Medicine to Treat Life-Threatening Illnesses
Arthur Jarvis University in Akpabuyo, Cross River State, has announced the commencement of using traditional medicine to treat life-threatening illnesses. This initiative aims to promote local content and utilize the abundant herbs available in the surrounding forests.
Sir Arthur Jarvis, Chancellor of the institution, stated that the Governing Council approved the construction and equipping of a standard Institute of Trado-Medical Research within the university campus.
