Traditional Medicine Council closes 3 unlicensed facilities

She urged members of the public to seek treatment only from facilities and practitioners licensed by the council, emphasising that compliance with regulatory standards was essential to protecting lives and maintaining confidence in traditional and alternative medicine services.

The Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC) has closed down three traditional and alternative medicine facilities in the Upper East Region for operating without valid licences and breaching regulatory requirements under the Traditional Medicine Practice Act, 2000 (Act 575).

She said the council was responsible for registering qualified practitioners, licensing healthcare facilities, enforcing professional and ethical standards, supporting training and professional development, and collaborating with other regulatory agencies to improve the quality and safety of traditional medicine practice.
