It belongs to the Musaceae family and has been identified to have several therapeutic effects and is used in the management of many medical conditions. The theory behind the use of plants and plant products for medicinal purposes is due to their phytochemical properties including glycosides, saponins, tannins, alkaloids and flavonoids. The information collected by researchers about the phytochemical properties of plants is important in determining the medicinal and informative effects of plants. Banana peels have been found to contain bioactive phytochemicals such as alkaloids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, glycosides, phlobatannins, tannins and terpenoids and have many organic and pharmacological properties. Anemia is a disorder observed as a decrease in the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. Haemoglobin is important for transporting oxygen to the body`s tissues and organs.

Before the development of modern medicine, people relied on medicinal plants to treat and manage illnesses. For a huge portion of people, mainly in the poor countries, medicinal herbs continue to offer excellent health protection. Date palm is a delicious, powerfully nutritious, aphrodisiac, tonic, and laxative fruit enjoyed by all since ancient times dates are seen to be an ideal food and part of a balanced diet because of the vital nutritional information included in them.

Urinary tract infections are regarded as one of the most infection diseases caused by bacteria, especially in females, as it’s estimated that 50% of all women get at list a urinary tract infection during their life time.

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease mainly acquired through consumption of infected animal products such as milk and meat. It is one of the leading zoonotic diseases and is a serious public health concern in endemic areas.Specifically, the review aimed at updating the burden of brucellosis in Uganda.Different research engines were utilised in writing this paper such as web of science, Pubmed Central, Scopus, Medline, Google Scholar, Researchgate, Academia Edu, etc.Prevalence of Brucellosis is low in Uganda. Being a Butcher, Milking, drinking raw milk are highly associated with brucellosis. The commonly used antimicrobials to manage Brucellosis are highly active against brucella except rifampicin. Brucella infection should be among the plan for treatment of febrile illness alongside malaria and Typhoid. Support is needed to allow more analysis on isolates such as sequencing and phylogeny analysis to learn more on the management of Brucella Epidemiology and ecology in this region.
