ABOUT CONFERENCE

              

Euroscicon invites all the participants from all over the world to attend “6^th Edition Of International Conference  On Pharmacognosy and Medicinal Plants” during April 16-17, 2018 in Amsterdam, Netherlands which includes prompt keynote presentations, Oral talks, Poster presentations and Exhibitions.

 This Pharmacognosy program includes the dissertation of providing statistics of physical, biological and chemical properties of drugs and products that are obtained from natural source. This deals with all the parameters of medicinal, traditional and also herbal plants. Natural products from different plant sources will be discussed with their analytical designs.

The Toxicological consequences of plants and products obtained by natural source are examined by the anticipation of plants called phytomedicine .This phytotherapy acts as a key in prevention of toxicological and adverse effects of plants. An advanced and modern techniques are initiated which helps in plant research many innovative plant extraction methods were developed  which helps in other streams like genetics, plant science, genomics. The extraction method also plays a main role in formulation and standardisation of natural products including plant medicine.

There is a strong market for herbal medicinal products in Europe. Market research report includes that Netherlands ranks third as a near-term, export destination for U.S. health IT according to the International Trade Administration’s 2015-2018 Health IT Top Markets Report.   In the absence of continued investments, healthcare spending is estimated at 18% of GDP in 2020.  The   costs can be reduced to 5.3% of GDP.  Annual savings of $3.2 billion are expected as a result of the effective use of IT-tools while unnecessary hospitalization and deaths will be reduced by 50%.
