Tonight on JoyNews' The Probe, host Carlos Calony takes a deep dive into a growing public health concern — Ghana’s Silent Kidney Crisis: The Hidden Danger in Street Herbal Concoctions.
With kidney-related illnesses on the rise, questions are being raised about the safety of unregulated herbal mixtures widely sold on the streets. Are these remedies helping or harming the public? What risks do they pose to the kidneys and overall health?

Together, they will examine the medical, regulatory, and public safety implications of the growing use of herbal concoctions.
