In partnership with the Municipal Assembly, the Asante Akyem North Health Directorate has taken action to eliminate more than 1,000 unapproved products for penis and buttocks enlargement in Asante Akyem Agogo.
This decisive step is part of a broader strategy to combat the illegal trade of such substances and safeguard public health.
Municipal Health Director Roland Miah, in conversation with Adom News correspondent Isaac Amoako, clarified that the confiscated items included body enhancement products, Viagra, and various concoctions often misused, particularly by youth, with detrimental effects.
Highlighting the aim of the operation, Miah emphasised the enforcement of regulations prohibiting illegal drugs, herbal medicines, cosmetics, medical devices, and household chemical substances.
He also urged the public, especially young people, to steer clear of these harmful products due to their severe side effects.
Assuring continuity, Municipal Chief Executive Francis Oti Boateng stressed that this initiative is part of an ongoing campaign rather than a one-time effort.
He outlined plans for a dedicated task force to consistently monitor and enforce regulations, with a commitment to prosecute individuals involved in the illegal sale of drugs.
