Traditional Medicine Practice Council cracks down on unqualified massage therapists

The Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC) has announced renewed efforts to sanitise Ghana's rapidly expanding massage therapy sector, warning that the increasing number of unqualified practitioners poses a serious risk to public health. The Council said it is strengthening regulation of the industry through continuous professional training, stricter enforcement and the introduction of a national register of certified massage therapists to help the public identify qualified practitioners.
