The newly formed, “African Phytomedicine Scientific Society (APSS)”, aims to stimulate and facilitate the interaction of African researchers in the “Medicinal plant Science field”, with the intention to foster the scientific development of the continent within the area of ethnopharmacology and natural products research. The main purpose of this group is to facilitate the communication and interaction of our network members. It is intended to share relevant information (i.e., scientific event information, call for fellowships), provide the possibility for personal and professional exchange and stimulate collaboration (laboratory facilities and acquiring technologies).

APSS will be holding its 1st Annual International Congress titled “Inspired by Mother Nature: Pharmaceuticals and Cosmeceuticals” on the 9th and 10th of November at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
