Popis: | One significant aspect of the Traditional Medicine Practice Act (2000) Act 575 is to ensure the registration of Traditional Medicine Practitioners in the Ghanaian jurisdiction that comes within its ambit. This is made clear by the preamble to the law, which states in part, that the law is to establish a Council to regulate the practice of traditional medicine, to register practitioners and license practices, to regulate the preparation and sale of herbal medicine and to provide for related matters.

The Traditional Medicine Practice Council established by Act 575 now regulates Complementary and Alternative Medicine Practices in Ghana. This commentary provides or the capacity of Act 575 and the practice of CAM in Ghana. |
