... that the proposed African Medicines Agency would regulate not just modern medicine and medical equipment, but also traditional medicine? Source: "The African Medicines Agency would work to harmonize regulations on products such as drugs, vaccines, medical devices, blood products, diagnostic tools, and traditional medicine across Africa."

Comment: While the AMA wouldn't directly regulate medicine as it will not have that sort of legal power, it will indirectly regulate through common standards and pushing national governments to change, so I feel the wording proposed works to convey the concept for a DYK hook.
