FDA & MOH Collapsing Traditional Herbal Medicine Industry

Mr. Oscar Asamoah Donkoh, Chairman of Ghana National Association of Traditional Healers, Greater Accra has expressed displeasure in the attempt of Food and Drug Authority and Ministry of Health to collapse their industry.

“Ministry of Health and Food and Drug Authority are sabotaging our industry, Ministry of health is suppose to supply our medicines to the hospitals but have refusedand Food and Drug Authority is suppose to register our product between the range of two months but it takes six to eight months to register one product which is collapsing our herbal industry. After takingour money they delay in registering our medicines without any tangible reason” Mr. Oscar lamented.

“We have trained herbal doctors from KNUST who are given offices by government in various hospitals to treat patients with traditional herbal medicine in the hospitals but ministry of health has failed to supply the herbal medicines to these herbal doctors and they are sitting idle the hospitals”, he bemoaned.

.“I want to clarify this mischief by some paid doctors that traditional herbal medicine causes cancer, it is total distortion, false and propaganda to destroy our industry. We have done our cross-checks from all the hospitals and there is no single report on herbal medicine causing cancer so the medical doctors should stop circulating lies!”.

“We are appealing to government to come to our aid, we are facing a lot of challenges in the traditional herbal industry, especially financial challenges but there is no helping hand”. Mr. Oscar Asamoah Donkoh said government should enact a law that will enforce FDA to consult traditional medicine practice council because they know best about traditional herbal medicines” Mr. Donkoh said.

According to Mr. Oscar, before any herbalist register his/her products from FDA he/she has to be assisted by the traditional medicine practice council, in accordance to act 575 of their constitution but most of the herbal products are registered without their knowledge. We have drawn the attention of FDA to consult us before they register any herbal medicine product but FDA has turn deaf ears to our calling and registering fake medicines.

Ghana Federation of Traditional medicine, Greater Accra chairman, Mr. Asamoah Donkoh said, come 2015, every traditional herbal practitioners hould register with the Ghana Federation of traditional medicine. He cautioned that, anybody who refused to register with the Ghana federation of traditional medicine will be stopped from selling their products. He disclosed that, theywill be training their members on symptoms of diseases come 1st January 2015 at KNUST, Kumasi.
