Traditional Medicine in Ghana

Over the last few years, Ghanaians have been concerned about the safety and efficacy of traditional medicine. Quite recently, a Traditional Medicine Practice Council has been formed to regulate the practice of Traditional Medicine in Ghana with a view of eliminating the quacks in the health care delivery system. In this book, Barimah and Bonna examine the practice, problems and prospects of traditional medicine in Ghana with a focus on the best practices on traditional health systems and policy around the globe. The experiences of the authors in advocating for the inclusion of Traditional Medicine in the mainstream Ghanaian health care system are also highlighted.
