As part of government efforts to encourage herbal medicine and practices in Ghana, some scrupulous individuals trying to pull down the vision government have for the good people in the herbal industry.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with the CEO of Local Man Herbal Centre, Dr Emmanuel Ananse, said, the use of Agrochemicals in our farms is the cause of the reduction of quality of their raw materials.
According to him, the government Ghana is doing everything within his powers to ensure that, Ghanaians produce their own medicines but the tendency where Forest Guards treating them in the forest is not helping productivity of the traditional medicine into the WHO market.
Dr Ananse said, most raw materials on the market are of low quality and sometimes do not get the right raw materials on the market.
He then appeals to government to allow registered Herbal Producers to enter the forest for their raw materials to ensure quality product.
The challenge confronting the traditional medicine are due to slow pace of laboratory approval from the Mampong research centre.
He was worried about the way and manner some staffs demand for ransom before approving the medicine and failure to do so it would never be approved.
The testing of traditional herbal medicine has been a challenge over the years and even during the pandemic of Covid-19 vaccines where described and local producers where also ask to present their medicine and in the end round those who could pay had their way through and those who couldn’t afford, if today their medicine would be certified.
