He further emphasised the importance of herbal medicine in Ghana\u2019s public health space and its potential for economic empowerment, especially among rural communities and traditional medicine practitioners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government of Ghana has, in recent years, taken active steps to support the herbal medicine sector. This includes the integration of herbal medicine into selected public hospitals through the Centre for Plant Medicine Research (CPMR), as well as the Food and Drugs Authority\u2019s continued efforts in regulating and registering herbal products to ensure public safety and international competitiveness. <\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, the Health Ministry has been collaborating with traditional medicine practitioners to strengthen research, improve quality control, and develop a national policy framework for traditional and alternative medicine,\u201d Dr. Amoakohene stated.<\/p>\n

The Chief Director for Global Media Alliance, Ms. Emma Wenani, expressed her gratitude to the Minister for welcoming the team to his office and accepting the invitation extended to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful for your willingness to support the Ghana Herbal Conference and for accepting our invitation. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to more collaborations to championing indigenous herbal knowledge, promoting safe and effective herbal medical practices, and fostering innovation in the herbal medicine sector,\u201d she mentioned.<\/p>\n

The organisers of the Ghana Herbal Conference expressed optimism that the active involvement of government stakeholders, especially regional leadership, would significantly boost participation, stakeholder engagement, and public trust in herbal medicine initiatives. <\/p>\n

They further assured the Minister that the November 2025 conference would serve as a strategic platform for investment, policy advocacy, and the celebration of Ghana\u2019s rich herbal heritage.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Herbal Conference 2025, under the theme \u201cHarmony in Herbalism: Balancing Tradition & Innovation, is committed to championing indigenous herbal knowledge, promoting safe and effective herbal medical practices, and fostering innovation within the herbal industry. <\/p>\n

It is committed to advancing the country\u2019s herbal medicine industry by fostering dialogue, collaboration, and scientific research aimed at promoting development and standardisation. <\/p>\n
