• Less than 15% of over 100,000 traditional medicine practitioners in Ghana are registered with the Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC), hindering proper regulatory oversight.
• The TMPC is actively engaging practitioners, opening new regional/district offices, and inspecting premises, leading to the closure of some risky facilities.
• The public is urged to patronize only licensed practitioners and products, verifying licenses via QR codes, and warned against unregulated social media marketers.
• The council collaborates with the FDA for product certification and warns unregistered practitioners of prosecution, fines (up to GH¢6,000), and imprisonment (up to two years).
• Efforts are underway to improve practitioner training with a new competency-based curriculum and to boost investment in research into traditional medicine, supported by universities and international partners.
