The Traditional Medicine Practice Council (TMPC) has suspended the operations of Doctor Caesar's facility in the Ashanti Region due to operating without a valid license. This decision was made on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, as part of an enforcement action targeting unlicensed traditional medicine facilities. Divine Ajiraku, a Regulatory Officer at the TMPC, stated that the facility had been running without renewing its license for three years, contravening the provisions of the Traditional Medicine Practice Act, 2000 (Act 575).
Despite being warned weeks earlier to rectify its documentation, the facility's management failed to comply. The TMPC felt compelled to shut down the facility as no alternative was available. The Council will issue a letter instructing the management to report to their office and complete the necessary procedures before the facility can reopen.
No arrests were made during this operation. The owner of the Asempa facility, which was previously shut down by the Council, has been summoned by the police in connection with allegations of vandalism to the padlocks used by the Council to secure the facility.
