The Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC) has stated that it will collaborate with the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) to deploy some personnel of the Community Protection Assistants of the Ghana Police Service popularly called (Baby Police) in all the 261 Districts in Ghana, to enforce compliance by all traditional and alternative medicine practitioners. This is one of the innovations they are bringing to transform the Council from its old ways, where access to information was a challenge leading to unscrupulous individuals claiming to be traditional medicine practitioners and selling any kind of concoction in the name of herbal medicines. Some of these medicines sold to these unsuspecting victims end up being just anything to push to unsuspecting individuals for these people to make money. The Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the MPC, Dr. Michael Kyeremanteng, made this known at his inaugural meeting with management and staff of the Council from the head office and from the regional offices.
