Phytomedicines in Global Health

From Farm to Bedside: Advancing Clinical Translation of Medical Cannabis and other phytomedicines for global health   

Over 26 USA states and a growing number of countries around the world have now legalized medical cannabis. Frontier research is now making it possible for cannabinoids to be delivered directly to disease sites/targets with minimal or no side effects, which have hampered clinical translation. At the same time global health collaborations are beginning to bring plant-based medicines from Low and Middle Income Countries to the world stage as low-cost remedies.  This highly educational session will focus on the potential use of Medical Cannabis in treating cancer, and closing the global pain divide,  and on leading edge international collaborations to accelerate research and clinical translation of phytomedicines in global health.  Expected outcomes include: advance of the biggest phytomedicines initiative in global health education, research and care,  publications, potential MOUs to collaborate between Industry and African Countries that will bring "Wakanda Healthcare" to the world stage, improving survival and quality of life for patients in the USA, Africa, Europe and around the world.
