Products [NHP] globally has opened so many new areas for exploration of natural
products particularly Phytomedicines, which require coordination and
harmonization of regulations related to their research and development as both
pharmaceuticals and food supplements. This Conference shall explore the emerging
scenario for development of NHP and group together necessary aspects related to
drug development from natural resources through international coordination.
There have been inconsistencies in the control of herbal products around the
globe and number of initiatives have been taken to provide a more harmonized and
consistent regime. This conference will provide an ideal platform for
interaction, debate, fusion and dissemination of ideas between national and
international scientists and Professionals involved.
