| description |
The note reviews Madagascar's
inherited wealth of ethno-medical knowledge, being endowed
with a flora of unique global importance on account of its
biodiversity, endemicity, and ethno-medical uses. The
government of Madagascar has shown its political commitment
to traditional medicine by supporting, through an
inter-ministerial convention, a commission to study
regulations on traditional medicine, and its pharmacopoeia
in the country, which was established in May 1996. The note
further enumerates the general and operational objectives of
the traditional medicine policy, and identifies associations
and institutions involved in traditional medicine, in
medicinal plant research and production, in pharmacopoeia,
and in phyto-medicine production, and relevant programmes. |
