Museveni acknowledged the work of Ugandan scientist -Professor Patrick Ogwang who combined ancient anti-viral traditional medicine from Eastern Uganda with modern medicines to come-up with an effective mixture called Covidex among others that helped treat people who were suffering from Covid-19 and saved many lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni told the meeting that there is need for collaboration between Uganda and the US in vaccines research. The President said that Uganda and Africa has a rich biodiversity range with vast medicinal plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are two areas where we are moving on our own, but where we would welcome collaboration if available. This is in vaccines and pharmaceuticals. It is not correct to continue with the present arrangement where, in the global share of pharmaceutical production of USD 1.42 trillion, Africa\u2019s share is only USD 16 billion,\u201d Museveni said at the well attended meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni was appreciated for his continued leadership to contain deadly viruses like Covid-19 pandemic and the Ebola in Uganda and Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
