Ernest Asante, president of the Ghana Homeopathic Medical Association and the event’s namesake speaker, asserted that homeopathy’s efficacy hinges on the practitioner’s skill. “Homeopathy doesn’t fail, the practitioner does,” he declared, calling for thorough case-taking and mastery of homeopathic principles. Dr.
Asante also advocated for integrating homeopathy into Ghana’s national healthcare framework to address the rising burden of chronic disease.Dr. Albert Arthur, president of GAMPA, highlighted the urgent need for standardised homeopathic education and ethical oversight.
He appealed to regulators, educators and clinicians to collaborate on quality control measures that would secure professional recognition and public trust in homeopathic services.Keynote speaker Dr. Matina Chronopoulou shared insights from Greece’s homeopathic integration into primary healthcare, illustrating how structured training and policy support can expand access to natural therapies.
She encouraged Ghanaian colleagues to adapt global best practices to local contexts, fostering a uniquely African homeopathic approach.Participants praised the event as timely and inspiring, with many calling for regularised public lectures and a formalised curriculum to sustain the discipline’s growth.

The success of this first World Homeopathy Day in Ghana reflects a broader movement to diversify healthcare options and strengthen practitioner competence. As homeopathy seeks greater institutional recognition, continued dialogue and standardisation will be essential to fulfilling its promise as a complementary pillar of national health.
