In1991. The government of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) set up the National Council of Herbal Medicine now Ghana National Association of Traditional Healers (GNATH) which was made up of most of the splinter groups and was charged with the responsibility of uniting all groups of Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Ghana. However, disunity among the splinter groups persisted which hampered financial support and stagnated its progress.

In the year 1992 PNDC L312 gazetted Ghana National Association of Traditional Healers as one of the indigenous associations under the Council of Indigenous Business Associations (CIBA), since then GNATH has flourished and has become one of the most successful Traditional Medicine Practitioners Associations with members all over the country.
