You may wish to contribute ideas e.g. research ideas to study the various plants of medicinal values and to determine active ingredients of the plants for medicinal purposes or for purposes of determining proper doses during dispensing. The government of Tanzania acknowledges the role of traditional medicines and provides support to improve efficiency of the service.
The Muhimbili Traditional Medicine Institute based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, has been pursuing research and training programs to enhance efficient use of herbal medicines in the country.
The Institute is part of the Muhimbili Health and Allied Sciences University which is the largest and oldest government medical institute in Tanzania. On its part, FAO encourages individuals and institutions to share information in that regard. Alternatively you may use the initiative as part of ethnographic studies
