“The ingredients found in the two herbal medicines have been tried and tested in China as a complementary prevention alongside other treatment options to manage respiratory diseases,” said Edgar Ngugi, General Manager, XRP Medical Kenya.

The company said that its aim is complementing the Government of Kenya and especially the Ministry of Health in the fight against viral cases of pneumonia by introducing products to improve and boost human immunity.

“The products have undergone rigorous scrutiny exercise by relevant government bodies and the World Health Organization and approved for human consumption,” noted Mr. Ngugi.
