Ghana Homeopathy Project
We promote homeopathy in Ghana under the UK charity Homeopathy in Africa in partnership with HEPA
(Homeopathy Education and Practitioners Association) a Ghana-based charity and homeopathic
practitioners association.
VISION: The integration of homeopathic medicine through the recognition of homeopathic education and practice, and homeopathy being an accessible form of healthcare in Ghana.
Education
Since 2005, Ghana Homeopathy Project has been supporting Ghana based homeopaths and offering educational programmes. We offered a four-year programme completed in 2021 and are now supporting a professional training course through the Ghana International College of Homeopathy. This is organised by the Homeopathy Education and Practitioners Association (HEPA), a charity committed to the development of homeopathy in Ghana.
Recognition
Homeopathy is an established system of medicine in Ghana. The Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC) is the department in the Ghana Ministry of Health responsible for the accreditation and licensing of traditional and alternative medicines, including homeopathy and we are in close consultation with them in our common goals to develop standards of homeopathic education and practice to further develop homeopathy as a recognised and accessible form of natural healthcare.
Practice
The project actively supports the practice of both new and more experienced homeopaths in Ghana. We recognise that it can be difficult to develop a professional practice anywhere in the world, from business and financial challenges, to publicity and other issues. We work closely with our graduates to ensure that supplies of medicines, books, and other necessary tools for a successful practice are in place and we are in partnership with HEPA in ensuring that homeopaths are given all the support they need to become successful practitioners in Ghana.
