Some of the market women and station drivers expressed gratitude to the GeoBert Memorial Herbal Centre for the gesture and urged them to repeat the gesture often.
The aim of GeoBert Memorial Herbal Centre is to produce herbal medicine products that are 100% natural and meet international standards.
The motivation is that people are gradually moving into the use of herbal medicine in the Ghanaian society after orthodox medicines have failed them.
Their products are in the form of liquids (mostly distilled), capsules, tea bags, ointments, and lotions.
They are located at Assin Foso in the Central Region and soon the Greater Accra Region Branch will be opened.
