About Aya Health
Born from a vision of healthcare that places the whole person at the centre, Aya Health is redefining what it means to live well.
"Aya is a symbol of endurance and resourcefulness. We carry that spirit into every consultation."
Dr. Patrina Ankrah, Founder
Why We Exist
Aya Health was founded on a deeply personal conviction: that healthcare should never be a one-size-fits-all experience. After years practising in both the UK and Ghana, Dr. Patrina Ankrah observed a persistent gap between what clients needed and what conventional medicine could offer within its constraints.
Clients were seen for minutes rather than hours. Symptoms were treated without exploring root causes. Prevention was an afterthought. The whole person was rarely, if ever, considered.
Aya Health was the answer. Named after the Adinkra symbol for fern, representing endurance, resource, and defiance, we have built a practice that refuses to compromise on the quality of care each human being deserves.
Begin Your JourneyOur mission is to empower individuals and families to take charge of their health through preventive, holistic solutions and innovative weight management programmes, tailored to each client's unique needs, with an unwavering commitment to nurturing their complete well-being at every stage of life.

A Practitioner Shaped by Two Worlds
Dr. Patrina Ankrah's journey as a physician has been shaped by two worlds: the richly communal healthcare landscape of Ghana and the highly specialised private medical sector of the United Kingdom. This dual experience has given her a perspective on health that is simultaneously global and deeply personal.
A Pioneer in Preventive Medicine
Dr. Ankrah became an early advocate for preventive and lifestyle medicine long before it entered mainstream clinical conversation. She recognised that the true power of medicine lies not in treating disease, but in preventing it altogether. Her specialist training in weight management and cardiovascular prevention places her at the forefront of evidence-based wellness practice.
Her Approach to Care
What distinguishes Dr. Ankrah is not just her clinical expertise, it is the warmth and curiosity she brings to every client encounter. She believes in deep listening. She takes time that conventional appointments simply do not allow. She crafts care plans that evolve with you, and she holds herself accountable to outcomes that genuinely improve lives.
Beyond the Clinic
Dr. Ankrah is a sought-after speaker on topics spanning preventive health, women's wellness, and the future of personalised medicine. She is committed to raising health literacy across Ghana, Sénégal, Guinea Bissau, and the UK, and regards community education as an extension of her clinical mission.
