Nova Wellness Center, one of Ghana’s pioneering integrative health facilities, has marked its thirteenth year of operations — a milestone its founder describes as a testament to the growing appetite for preventive and non-surgical healthcare in West Africa.
Established in 2013 by Dr Naa Asheley Ashietey, a chiropractor and wellness entrepreneur, the center has expanded from a single clinic into a multi-branch operation with facilities in both Accra and Kumasi, serving thousands of clients each year. Its service menu spans chiropractic care, spinal decompression therapy, physiotherapy, regenerative medicine, massage therapy, nutritional support, and wellness education.
“Celebrating thirteen years is a reflection of our commitment to transforming lives through holistic healthcare, innovation, and compassionate service,” the center’s management said in a statement. “We remain focused on empowering individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives while advancing wellness standards in Ghana and beyond.”
Central to the center’s next chapter is Nova Viva, a newer division that zeroes in on longevity, healthy ageing, and preventive lifestyle solutions. Its offerings include BrainWave Optimisation Therapy, BioScan Health Analysis, Vital Drip IV Vitamin Infusions, Aesthetic Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, weight-management programmes, medical aesthetics, and functional fitness solutions.
The expansion reflects a broader trend across Ghana’s healthcare landscape, where urban middle-class consumers are increasingly seeking alternatives to conventional hospital visits. While the country’s public health system grapples with infrastructure challenges — as seen in the Nkwanta South Municipal Hospital’s recent appeal for infrastructure support — private wellness operators are stepping in to fill gaps in preventive and rehabilitative care.
Beyond its clinical services, Nova Wellness has invested in corporate wellness programmes, educational health campaigns, and public wellness events designed to shift attitudes from reactive treatment toward proactive health management. The center has won several industry accolades, including Wellness Company of the Year at the Ghana Business Standard Awards, while Dr Ashietey herself has been recognised at the Global Entrepreneurs Awards.
“We invite individuals, families, corporate organizations, and wellness enthusiasts to tour our facilities, learn more about our services, and discover how preventive and holistic healthcare can improve quality of life,” Dr Ashietey said.
As Ghana’s health sector continues to evolve, the thirteen-year run of Nova Wellness Center underscores a quiet but significant shift: a segment of the population is willing to invest in staying well, not just getting treated when ill.
