Regulatory situation

In Swaziland, the Control of Natural Therapeutic Practitioners Regulations of 1978 (66) limits the definition of "natural therapeutic practitioner" to persons practising chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, or electropathy. The prohibitions on professional practice are similar to those in force in Lesotho. Some traditional medicine practitioners are involved with Swaziland's primary health care programme (6).

Education and training

Swaziland has no official training facilities or programmes in traditional medicine (6).
