Nyaho Medical Centre has always been committed to having an intense focus on the patient care while bringing the best of international standards to Ghana. In April 2015 Dr. Elikem C.

During the gala dinner Peter van Kets, professional adventurer and inspirational speaker, delivered the inspiring keynote address. His message was Impossible is nothing and that one needs to have Passion, Commitment and Surround yourself with +1 People to succeed in life. From what we heard from the other speakers and panellists, the message was clear that families should professionalise their business and their family, and this process should be started as early as possible.
