The medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Institute (MAPRI) of the National Centre for Research (NCR) plays major role in medicinal and aromatic plants investigation, determination, valuation and documentation in Sudan and contributes with local healers in different regions of Sudan, the rediscovering of these plants is highly needed with contribution of overseas pharmaceuticals companies as natural products have less side effects than industrial drugs. | ||
