Collaborative Development of Ghanaian Herbal Medicines for Malaria, BPH, Hypertension, and Diabetes: Case Studies from the Centre for Plant Medicine Research
Abstract: This article reviews over 30 years of collaborative research at Ghana?s Centre for Plant Medicine Research (CPMR) focused on developing herbal treatments for malaria, BPH, hypertension, and diabetes. Five herbal products- Mibima, URO 500, Diodia, Lippia Tea, and Bridelia- were derived from indigenous plants through ethnopharmacological research, preclinical studies, and limited clinical trials. The paper highlights the role of traditional knowledge integrated with modern scientific validation in achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Emphasis is placed on collaborative frameworks, safety profiling, and policy support for the integration of herbal medicine into Ghana?s public health system.
Keywords: Herbal medicine, Ghana, traditional medicine, Mibima, URO 500
