About HAYAH
Born from a vision of healthcare that places the whole person at the centre, HAYAH is redefining what it means to live well.
"HAYAH helps people live healthier, fuller and more considered lives."
HAYAH Health and Wellness
Why We Exist
HAYAH 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 Tekyi 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.
HAYAH was the answer. The name speaks to life, being and becoming: the whole arc of a person's health, not the absence of illness, but the practice of living fully and becoming more fully oneself over time. 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, wholistic 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 Tekyi'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. Tekyi 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. Tekyi 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. Tekyi 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.
