How do countries with "universal health care" assist the drug developer in the testing of natural drugs?

Public health agencies and national research councils allocate tax-funded grants specifically for studying natural products, herbal extracts, and traditional medicines. For example, initiatives backed by public health bodies or global health organizations (such as WHO-supported traditional medicine research programs) fund laboratories and clinical trials to validate indigenous and natural remedies. Public health authorities, such as national food and drug administrations, may provide scientific guidelines, purity standards, and analytical frameworks to help developers transform raw herbal mixtures into standardized pharmaceutical products. Some universal health care systems evaluate proven natural and herbal extracts for inclusion in national Essential Medicines Lists. Once approved, these drugs gain a clear, reliable pathway to public procurement and reimbursement, lowering commercialization risk for developers.
