Abstract
The paper reported that to increase the
effectiveness of healthcare as well as to alleviate poverty
in the poorest parts of the world, the symposium
participants recommended urgent attention to three
principles: 1. Success will only be achieved if both
biological diversity and cultural diversity are conserved.;
2. Leadership must come from indigenous peoples/(local
communities) in the use of traditional knowledge for broader
health benefits; 3. International cooperation and
partnerships are necessary to ensure safety and quality of
traditional phytomedicines.
