About the Book

A Contextual Exploration of Phytomedicines’ Development in Africa comprises nine chapters, which focus on the critical role of medicinal plants in healthcare delivery on the African continent. The book begins with how phytomedicines can stimulate access to quality healthcare for socioeconomic development, and then discusses research and development efforts in Traditional Medicine for achieving universal health coverage in the African Region as well as approaches for producing sustainable, quality and safe phytomedicines. In an attempt to highlight some of the socio-anthropological aspects of plant medicines, the book takes a brief look at the ecological link between nature and phytomedicines, and concludes with a discussion of the critical factors for effective promotion and sustainability of African Traditional Medicine.
