Recognition for the 30 years of the Takiwasi Center

The Takiwasi Center has received the diploma of merit and the civic medal of the city of Tarapoto in recognition of its 30 years of activities that have allowed the institution to become a national and international benchmark in the treatment of addictions and mental health using an innovative combination of traditional knowledge and modern medicine.

This recognition was granted on August 19, within the framework of the celebrations for the anniversary of the city of Tarapoto, an event in which a posthumous tribute to merit was also paid to Dr. Rosa Giove for her outstanding work in defending, preserving and integrating traditional Amazonian medicine into the public health system.

Through its Natural Products Laboratory, this August the Takiwasi Center has participated in several regional and national events, publicizing its natural products made from medicinal plants.

Takiwasi has participated in the ExpoAmazónica, the most important fair of the Peruvian Amazon, which took place from August 18 to 21 in the city of Chachapoyas.
