In an appeal to the government, the founder of Natural Way Herbal Clinic called for more financial investment and training to boost the herbal medicine industry.

He said herbal medicine is potent and more education must be done for Ghanaians to have trust in using traditional remedies to treat diseases.

“Plant nutrients are the most essential nutritional values that help in our survival. It is harmless as compared to the orthodox medicines which are imported.

“The Health Ministry and the Government should help in the education and the impact of herbs. Without the knowledge of plant medicine, there will be no acceptance of plant medicine. People have neglected herbal medicine with the idea that is a practice of the illiterate yet we get referrals of patience from Professional Health doctors,” Prof. Dr. Wiafe told journalists.
