Abstract

Traditional and modern scientific medicine's contributions to health care delivery have gotten a lot of attention from people all around the world. Both treatments have had a positive impact on the health care system in Ghana, despite the disparities in their characteristics. They've existed on their own for a long time, contributing to the enhancement of health and well-being. When it comes to health treatment in Ghana, traditional and contemporary scientific medications are often mixed together. A total of 150 people from Kumasi and Akoefe-Avenui, Ghana, who practise and utilise both types of medicine are interviewed for this study. Data was gathered primarily via the use of interviews and questionnaires, both of which were administered to study participants. The study found that, despite the widespread use of both traditional and contemporary scientific treatments, there appears to be no formal integration between the two. Some respondents (more than 70%) favoured the merging of both systems of medicine, while others (less than 20%) objected. For this reason, it is recommended to engage in dialogue between medical practitioners from both the scientific as well as the traditional medical traditions. As a result, a comprehensive national structure and strategy should be established to ensure to ensure their integration so that health care delivery may improve.
