#Morelia | About 100 women trained in Traditional Medicine
Sedebi has given workshops to heads of families in the municipalities of Hidalgo, Nahuatzen, Quiroga and Morelia.
Morelia, Michoacán, August 12, 2022.- A total of 90 women, mainly heads of families, have been trained through the Program for Training and Granting Supplies for Traditional Medicine of the Ministry of Welfare (Sedebi), reported its head Carolina Rangel Gracida.
When making a cut of the progress of the program, which began last July, the state official pointed out that four training workshops have been held, taught by traditional doctors Emilia Alejo Simón and Alma Rosa González Calderón.
The first of them, he recalled, was held in the town of San Isidro Alta Huerta in the municipality of Hidalgo, aimed at 25 women with a duration of four days, in which they were trained on techniques of auriculotherapy, reflexology and production of various natural products.
Likewise, these workshops have been taken to the municipalities of Nahuatzen, Quiroga and Morelia, where six-hour training sessions were held for 65 women heads of households.
Rangel Gracida pointed out that these actions are aimed at promoting and applying the knowledge of the native peoples of Michoacán through traditional medicine.
“This program represents an alternative for immediate health care and sustainability for the vulnerable and marginalized population,” he said.
She invited all those women 18 years of age or older, who head the household through informal or intermittent economic activities, or are economically dependent and whose main activity is unpaid domestic and care work, to enroll in the program.
For this purpose, the interested parties may request the training workshops directly at the Sedebi offices located at Avenida Lázaro Cárdenas 1016, Colonia Ventura Puente in Morelia, Michoacán, by calling 4432306668 or by email to medicine [email protected].
