This program identifies new ways for pharmaceutical companies to
operate globally, promoting increased cooperation with local producers
of traditional, plant-based medicines. Recognizing the worldwide demand
for alternative medicine may create new producer countries, the program
visits centers of herbology and other non-Western healing methods in
China, Vietnam, Bhutan, Senegal, and Kenya. The documented ability of
these facilities to fight AIDS and other diseases forms a powerful
argument for the coexistence of both corporate and traditional
industries. |
