The Addis Ababa City Administration Food and Drug Authority announced that it has examined the procedures and conditions of traditional medicine institutions and the Traditional Medicine Management and Supervision Guideline 2006.

The authority conducted a survey on the procedures, treatment and standard maintenance of 98 traditional medicine institutions and discussed the findings.
