During the preparation of volume 4, more than 200 experts were involved in addition to members of WHO’s Expert Advisory Panel on Traditional Medicine, a significant expansion compared to the numbers involved in the previous three volumes.
National drug regulatory authorities in 81 countries participated in the process, again a greater number than for the previous volumes. This global network of active players facilitated wider access to the available scientific references and information, in terms of both quality and quantity.
This considerable level of support contributed greatly to the efficiency of the preparation process. The Fourth WHO Consultation on Selected Medicinal Plants was held in Salerno-Paestum, Italy, in October 2005 to review and finalize the draft monographs. Thirty-four experts and drug regulatory authorities from WHO Member States participated (Annex 1).
Following extensive discussion, 28 of the 32 draft monographs were adopted for inclusion.
