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.

The University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) has disputed claims made on social media by comedian Michael Blackson concerning the treatment given to his late mother, saying a review found that the allegations did not accurately reflect what happened during her stay at the hospital.
In a statement issued in Accra on August 5, 2026, the management of UGMC expressed condolences to Mr. Blackson and his family over the death of his 83-year-old mother, who died at the facility on July 16, 2026.
The hospital said it had taken the concerns raised by Mr. Blackson seriously and conducted a thorough review in line with its clinical and administrative procedures.
According to the statement, the facts presented by Mr. Blackson on social media contained “numerous inaccuracies” and did not accurately reflect the medical care provided to his mother.
UGMC explained that she was referred to the facility from another hospital and received treatment there from May 27 to July 16, 2026, a period of about eight weeks.
The hospital stated that it would not release details of her diagnosis, treatment, medical records or other aspects of her care because it had a duty to protect patient confidentiality, even after death.
It said the decision was intended to respect the dignity of the deceased and the privacy of her family.
UGMC further stated that all clinical decisions at the facility are made by qualified healthcare professionals based on medical judgment, established standards of care and the best interests of the patient.
The statement added that such decisions are made in consultation with authorised family representatives where necessary and that billing and financial procedures are governed by institutional policies and are separate from clinical decision-making.
The hospital noted that it values feedback from patients and their families and considers both positive and negative comments important for improving the quality of care.
Mr. Blackson had earlier used social media to criticise the care his mother received at UGMC, prompting the hospital’s response.
