Abstract

Namibia has a vast plant biodiversity which, supported by strong Indigenous Knowledge Systems, could lead to the development of active drugs from one or more of the indigenous plants. This notification paper examines how Namibia is hampered from taking control of and developing its own natural product resources due to a lack of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology.
