The chairman of the Ghana Traditional Medicine Practitioners Council for the Krobo District has warned all traditional medicine practitioners under his jurisdiction to acquire a certificate before practicing herbal medicine.
Hunua Kumador in an interview with Rite news noted that it was mandatory for all herbal practitioners to acquire a certificate from the ministry of health before practicing herbal medicine even if one already has a certificate from other member associations.
According to him traditional herbal practitioners who do not have a certificate have already been served notice letters to acquire one, a directive that has not been heeded. However, he assured that a follow up notice letter will be sent to them as a reminder before any legal action is taken against them.
