Dr Edu Herbal Centre Best Hospital For Treating Stroke

Dr Edu Herbal Center based in Mankessim has been adjudged as the Best Stroke Hospital at the maiden Ghana National Herbal Awards held in Kumasi.

The Center, in the year under review, treated over 1,800 stroke patients to earn the award.

The Ghana National Herbal Awards seeks to promote made in Ghana products and expose them internally and globally through different mediums to encourage the production of unique herbal products and efficient service delivery.

Dr Edu Mohammed, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Edu Herbal Clinic, in an interview with Ghana News Agency, during a short ceremony held to celebrate the achievement with his workers, commended the organisers of the event for the recognition given to the entire herbal industry.

He said the event would motivate those in the herbal industry to develop more quality products to address health challenges in the society.

Dr Mohammed said: 'I am happy with this award but I must say I could not have achieved this without my workers; that is why I am organising this ceremony to honour them'.

He said hard work, determination and teamwork has brought the clinic this far adding that the Center aims at contributing meaningfully to the development and growth of the herbal industry in the country.

'I now see this as a challenge to intensify what we are doing here to continue to stay at the top. It also brings a great responsibility to us' he said.

He called on Government to support the traditional medicine sector with equipment to enable them to produce medicine that are of acceptable standards.

Dr Edu Mohammed has practised as a traditional doctor for 22 years while the herbal centre has been in existence for just four years.

The Rescue Mission Theological University in the United States of America (USA) in October last year conferred on him an honorary Doctorate Degree for his immense service to mankind and to the nation.
