The Chief Executive Officer of Buabeng Authentic Herbal Hospital, Dr. Buabeng Foster, widely known as the “Walking Pharmacopoeia”, has called on government to shut down all agrochemical shops across the country as part of efforts to help reduce the increasing number of cancer cases in Ghana.
Speaking on Atinka TV’s Ghana Nie programme hosted by Ekow Budu Sam, Dr. Foster expressed concern over the rising rate of cancer cases, describing the situation as alarming.
According to him, studies and health reports have linked the excessive use of agrochemicals to several health complications, including cancer.
He argued that the widespread sale and use of such chemicals continue to pose serious health risks to Ghanaians, especially farmers and consumers exposed to food products treated with harmful substances.
Dr. Foster therefore urged government and relevant state agencies to take bold action by tightening regulations on agrochemicals to help protect public health.
