Traditional Medicine Practice Council closes three unlicensed spa and massage centres in Ashanti Region

The Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC) has closed down three spa and massage centres in the Ashanti Region for operating without valid licenses, as part of a nationwide enforcement drive to sanitize the traditional and alternative medicine industry.

The TMPC has cautioned the general public, especially those seeking spa and massage services, to always look out for the Council's license certificate displayed at such facilities and has assured that the swoop will be extended to other parts of the region in the coming weeks.

This, he said, includes evidence of formal training or years of proven practice, after which the Council will conduct its own inspection and assessment before issuing a TMPC operating license.
