Kidney disease is fast becoming a major public health challenge in Ghana, with health professionals warning of a steady rise in cases among both adults and children. The condition, which affects the body’s ability to filter waste and regulate blood pressure, is placing increasing strain on families, healthcare facilities, and the national health system.
Medical experts attribute the surge in kidney-related illnesses to several factors, including diabetes, hypertension, genetic predisposition, self-medication, and environmental pollution—particularly the contamination of water bodies through illegal mining activities, popularly known as galamsey.
Amid growing concerns, Dr. Prince Nelson Motorti, Chief Executive Officer of PIWAK Natural Health and producer of the widely used 3P Garlic Mixture, has renewed calls for a stronger national focus on prevention, early detection, and complementary natural health support to protect kidney function.
Natural Health Perspective on Kidney Care.
Speaking on the rising burden of kidney disease, Dr. Motorti emphasized that while conventional medical treatment remains essential, preventive healthcare and natural lifestyle support play a crucial role in reducing kidney stress and slowing disease progression.
According to him, 3P Garlic Mixture, a natural formulation produced by PIWAK Natural Health, is designed to support overall organ health, including the kidneys, by promoting healthy blood circulation, aiding detoxification, and helping the body manage factors such as high blood pressure and inflammation—key contributors to kidney damage.
“Garlic has long been recognized in both traditional and modern health practice for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties,” Dr. Motorti explained. “When used responsibly as a natural supplement, it can help support kidney health by reducing the burden placed on these vital organs, especially in individuals managing hypertension and metabolic conditions.”
He was quick to stress that 3P Garlic Mixture is not a replacement for hospital treatment or dialysis, but rather a complementary health product aimed at supporting preventive care and healthy living when used alongside medical advice.
Complementing Medical Expertise.
Medical practitioners continue to caution against self-medication and the abuse of unregulated drugs and herbal products, which can worsen kidney damage.
In this regard, Dr. Motorti noted that PIWAK Natural Health operates under strict quality control standards, ensuring that its products are properly formulated and guided by responsible usage recommendations.
Health administrators have also called for increased public education, regular medical screening, and policy reforms to improve access to kidney care, including expanded dialysis coverage and medication support under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
Call for Collective Action
As kidney disease cases continue to rise, stakeholders agree that addressing the crisis requires a collective national effort—combining medical treatment, public health education, environmental protection, and responsible natural health solutions.
Dr. Motorti urged Ghanaians to take kidney health seriously by drinking clean water, avoiding excessive painkiller use, managing blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and embracing preventive health practices.
“The fight against kidney disease begins with awareness and prevention,” he said. “When individuals take responsibility for their health and combine medical care with safe, supportive natural products, we stand a better chance of reducing the growing burden of kidney disease in Ghana.”
With increasing attention on preventive healthcare, advocates believe that integrating credible natural health solutions such as 3P Garlic Mixture, alongside orthodox medicine and strong government intervention, could help safeguard kidney health and improve quality of life for many Ghanaians.
