The Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Amagashie Spiritual Herbal Center, Apostle Dr. Samuel Amagashie, has urged His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to prioritize and support herbal medicine practitioners in Ghana.
According to him, the government spends huge sums of money importing foreign medicines, yet local herbal practitioners receive little or no support despite their significant contributions to healthcare. He, therefore, called on the government to invest in the herbal industry by establishing a Herbal Nursing Training College to train more professionals in the field.
“We, the herbal practitioners, are here to promote the well-being of Ghanaians, but we do not receive the necessary backing from the government. Establishing a Herbal Nursing Training College will help train more professionals and expand the industry,” he said.
He was speaking to media today when he was Awarded at the Media and Entrepreneurship prominence 2024 Awards Ceremony at the Rotary Park in Kumasi

Apostle Dr. Amagashie further appealed to John Dramani Mahama to consider creating a Ministry for Herbal Medicine to regulate and promote the industry.
He expressed his willingness to serve as Ghana’s first-ever Herbal Minister if given the opportunity, promising to implement policies that will boost herbal medicine production and usage across the country.
