About TMPC
A department of Traditional and Alternative Medicine was created in the Ministry of Health in 1992. Traditional Medicine has since been incorporated into the program of work plans of the Agency of Health. The Traditional Medicine Practice Act (Act 575) was promulgated in 2000 to control and regulate Traditional medicine practice. Although the Traditional Medicine Practice Council was not constituted, the secretariat for the council was set up in 2004 in order to adequately prepare the ground for the Council. The Traditional Medicine Practice Council was eventually constituted and inaugurated on the 9th April, 2010. This event has now fully set the stage for the legal promotion, education, development, regulation and control of Traditional & Alternative Medical Practice in Ghana.
