Abstract:
The exploration of medicinal plant diversity in Uganda and across Africa holds substantial importance in the realms of ethnobotany, traditional medicine, and modern healthcare. This diversity, deeply rooted in indigenous communities, forms the foundation of traditional healing practices. Conservation of Africa's biodiversity hotspots, coupled with sustainable practices, is crucial for preserving these invaluable resources. However, challenges persist in bridging traditional knowledge with scientific validation, addressing ethical collection practices, and ensuring equitable benefit-sharing. Collaborative efforts involving scientists, indigenous communities, and governments are pivotal for systematic study and conservation. Regulation, standardization, and integration of traditional medicine within healthcare systems remain imperative for safe and effective utilization. Keywords: Healing potential, Medicinal Plants, Post-COVID, Disease management and Uganda
