Traditional faith practitioners are calling on the government to formally incorporate their practices into national activities. They argue that years of exclusion have diminished the importance of these practices in Ghana's cultural landscape. The demand was raised at a mass registration, licensing, and sensitization program for traditional, indigenous, and faith-based healing practitioners in the Ashanti Region.
Organized by the Trado-Afrikan Faith Healers Association (TAFHA) and held at the Kumasi Centre for National Culture, the event aimed to build a recognized and regulated traditional healing sector in Ghana. The Acting General Secretary of TAFHA, Jonathan Q. Attoh (Dzogbana), emphasized the significance of recognizing traditional faith in Ghana.
He stressed that traditional healing and spirituality are integral to the country's identity, and their inclusion is necessary to preserve cultural heritage and promote holistic healthcare.
