Complementary, alternative medicine practice fall under our mandate – TMPC

Date:

Accra, Feb. 10, GNA- The Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC) says it has the power to regulate Complementary/Alternative Medicine (CAM) practice in Ghana.

Their appeal follows a tragic incident, where a VIP bus traveling at high speed from Dambai to Kete-Krachi struck and killed a 17-year-old rider on the road.  

According to the youth, drivers, who use the road often speed through town without caution, endangering lives and claim this is not the first time such an accident has occurred.  

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr. Yondi Joseph, a concerned youth member, expressed frustration over repeated accidents caused by buses.  

“This is not the first time these VIP drivers have killed our young brothers with their reckless driving. They fail to slow down when passing through town, even though speed limits exist,” he lamented.  

He stressed the need for speed ramps, saying, “If drivers refuse to obey speed regulations, then authorities must help us by constructing speed ramps to prevent further deaths.”  

The youth believe that the installation of speed ramps will effectively slow down vehicles and reduce fatal accidents in the community. They are, therefore, urging the government and the Road Safety Authority to take swift action to address this pressing concern.
