Hire a consulting firm specializing in Geographic Information Systems

and a georeferenced national map of traditional healers in Guinea-Bissau, and analyze their complementarity with the modern healthcare system.

detailed methodological protocol for the GIS mapping of traditional healers, 
in accordance with national standards and international best practices.

service (place of practice and, where applicable, place of hospitalization or 
product preparation) of traditional healers identified throughout the 
national territory of Guinea-Bissau.
• Document and record the contact information, sociodemographic profile, and professional 
and practical details of each traditional medicine practitioner (practitioner category, type of 
practices, conditions treated, use of medicinal plants, referrals and counter-referrals, use of conventional medications).
• Analyze the complementarity and interfaces between traditional medicine and 
modern medicine. Patient flow, referral and counter-referral practices, combined use of traditional and biomedical treatments, 
and mutual perceptions among stakeholders.
• Develop a cartographic atlas (print and digital) and an interactive GIS dashboard 
to visualize the geographic distribution of traditional healers, their density, 
their characteristics, and their proximity to healthcare facilities.
• Develop and complete an integrated database, including the 
georeferencing of community health workers (to be completed by 
December 2025) and data on traditional healers practicing in communities 
across the country.
• Formulate operational recommendations for the gradual, safe, and 
regulated integration of traditional medicine practitioners into national health policies and plans, 
in line with the Traditional Medicine Policy and the 
National Strategic Plan.
