This meeting marks a crucial step towards integrating natural medicine into the national healthcare delivery system of Nigeria, promising a holistic approach to healthcare for its citizens.
The engagement between Prof. Martins Emeje and Pharm. Bukky George marks the convergence of expertise and vision in revolutionizing healthcare in Nigeria.

By embracing natural medicine, NNMDA and HealthPlus aim to tap into this rich heritage to provide effective and accessible healthcare solutions to all Nigerians.
One of the primary objectives of this collaboration is to bridge the gap in healthcare access and affordability. Natural medicine, with its focus on holistic wellness, presents an opportunity to address the healthcare needs of underserved communities across Nigeria. By integrating natural medicine into the national healthcare system, NNMDA and HealthPlus envision a future where every Nigerian has access to quality healthcare services.
Beyond addressing healthcare disparities, this collaboration seeks to empower local communities by promoting indigenous knowledge and traditional healing practices. By validating and integrating natural medicine into mainstream healthcare, NNMDA and HealthPlus aim to foster a sense of pride and ownership among Nigerians in their traditional healing practices, thus preserving cultural heritage while advancing public health.
Central to this partnership is the commitment to advancing research and innovation in natural medicine. NNMDA, with its expertise in herbal medicine research, and HealthPlus, with its extensive network of pharmacies and healthcare professionals, are poised to catalyze groundbreaking discoveries in natural medicine. Through collaborative research initiatives, they aim to unlock the full potential of natural medicine in addressing contemporary healthcare challenges.
The meeting between Prof. Martins Emeje and Pharm. Bukky George heralds a new era in Nigerian healthcare—a future where natural medicine takes its rightful place alongside modern healthcare practices. By leveraging their collective expertise and resources, NNMDA and HealthPlus are set to chart a course towards a more inclusive, accessible, and effective healthcare system for all Nigerians. As we embark on this journey of collaboration and integration, we pave the way for a healthier and more resilient Nigeria.
