Malaria drugs like Artemether Lumefantrine, COARTEM, and IV Artesunate are derived from the plant Artemisia annua. Unlike isolated compounds, using the whole plant, including the leaves, has little to no side effects, making it a natural alternative for treatment.

For the last 3 years, I’ve been part of the Traditional Medicine in Transition project in Uganda and Switzerland @tradmedit Seeing one exhibition at Igongo and two mobile museum trucks on the road fills me with pride. We now move to communities and look out, we maybe near you!
The Traditional Medicine in Transition mobile museum is receiving a warm welcome in Kisoro District.
Communities are engaging with stories, knowledge and traditions that have shaped healing practices for generations. Taking the museum to the people is bringing heritage to life
The TMT Mobile Museum Exhibition is now on in Western Uganda.
Keep your eyes open and watch out for it as it moves through communities, sharing stories of traditional medicine, culture and knowledge on the move.
Don’t miss it.
