Dr Bright Okoh
An astute herbal medicine practitioner, Dr Bright Okoh, with over two decades of experience is leading a group of over 30 health professionals to complement quality healthcare delivery in Ghana with alternative medicine.
Operating the Greenfield Scientific Herbal Clinic, a fast-growing health facility and a heavyweight in the alternative medicine industry, Dr Okoh has carved a niche as one of the best on the continent and the world at large.
Dr Okoh started the Greenfield journey in 2009 as a herbal shop in Nungua and later expanded to a herbal centre about five years later. Today, the shop has become an ultra-modern herbal clinic with facilities to offer various services.
With over a decade of practice and saving lives with alternative medicine, Dr Okoh, a degree holder in holistic medicine, has established Greenfield as a fully-fledged health centre in Ghana, serving the medical needs of people within the community and beyond.
Operating at Buade in Nungua, Accra the clinic with expertise in stroke, infertility, halitosis, sexual weakness, hypertension, bone settings, sexually transmitted disease and others, have won several awards including the ultimate Best Herbal Practitioner of the Year, 2020, an award held by Afrik Media in collaboration with the Ministry of Health.
Prior to that, Dr Okoh the Chief Executive Officer was awarded the Bone Setting Specialist of the Year in 2018 at the seventh African Health Legendary Awards. The company won the West African Traditional and Alternative Medicine Awards in 2019, Promising Scientific Herbal Centre of the Year in 2017 and the Best Facility in Herbal Clinic in Greater Accra.
On the global stage, the health centre won the Best Herbal Clinic of the Year at the World Changers Summit and Awards 2018 in Dubai. The clinic further won the outstanding stroke centre and bone settings specialist of the year in 2019 organised by the African Health Legendary Awards.
Dr Okoh believes that the recognition came out of their dedication and commitment to providing quality health care and looks forward to more of such awards next year and beyond.
According to Dr Okoh he has gathered enough experience in the sector and following feedback from clients they would not renege on their efforts to provide quality health care.
He said the World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises alternative or herbal medicine practitioners as they contribute about 60 to 70 per cent of healthcare to people globally.
On Corporate Social Responsibilities activities, they donate to the needy in society including orphanages such as the New Life Orphanage at Nungua. They also give to a disability group in Teshie of which Dr Okoh is a patron. They also present some items to the Kpeshie Police during the COVI9-19 outbreak, conduct regular free health screening exercises at churches, taxi ranks and markets as well as registering over 500 people on the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
Dr Okoh intends to expand and improve upon quality healthcare in the country.
In addition, he would provide solution to the challenges within the industry bothering around finding raw materials at affordable prizes. Hence, the need to secure lands to cultivate plants for the medical uses as done in other developed countries including the United States of America.
Offering advice on the Christmas festivities Dr Okoh advised the public to eat quality foods with organic products, avoid self-medication and excessive drinking of alcohol, exercise for proper blood circulation and sleep well.

”99% of prophecies in Ghana are most likely designed to extort money from unsuspecting victims” – Mussa Dankwah
Executive Director and Head of Global Research at Global InfoAnalytics, Ghana, Mussa K. Dankwah, has alleged that the majority of prophecies in the country are schemes to take money from people.
He claimed that 99% of such prophecies are targeted at powerful and wealthy individuals, especially those in politics, rather than ordinary citizens.
“They target the most powerful, the rich, and the political class. Ordinary people do not feature in their prophecies”
We should not fall for it. If they are genuine, they will pray over it hoping that God will avert it. But we are told in the Quran that what is written is written and what is not written can never happen. The Bible does not dispute this” Mr Dankwah said.
In a Facebook post, he urged Ghanaians to be vigilant and not become victims of deceptive religious practices.
“Don’t be a victim, biɛ wa ni fiii,” he warned, stressing that if a prophecy is truly from God, it should be handled with prayer and not used as a tool for financial gain.
