Meanwhile, the Medical and Dental Council of Ghana (MDC) has identified quackery as a major challenge currently affecting medical practice in the country.

According to the MDC between 2024 and the third quarter of 2025, four individuals have been arrested for unlicensed medical practice, while several others remain under investigation, with prosecution pending.

The Council has also raised concerns over the submission of forged qualifications by individuals attempting to gain clearance to practice in Ghana.

MDC says it is working with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) to introduce a practitioner name tag and stamp policy by 2026.
