Dr. Naa Asheley Ashietey, founder of Nova Wellness Center, has been honoured at the 2025 Global Entrepreneurs Awards for her outstanding contributions to health and wellness innovation in Ghana. The recognition was presented during this year’s Global Entrepreneurship Festival, held from November 21 to 23 in Accra, Ghana.

The Global Entrepreneurs Awards form part of the annual Global Entrepreneurship Festival, a gathering that brings together innovators, business leaders, investors, and policymakers from across the world to celebrate ingenuity and emerging enterprise. This year’s edition focused on acknowledging industry leaders whose work is shaping the future of their sectors.

Dr. Ashietey was celebrated under the Global Industry Awards 2025 – Health Excellence Category, highlighting her commitment to advancing holistic, accessible, and science-driven wellness solutions in Ghana.

For over a decade, she has championed non-invasive healthcare approaches, helping position Ghana as a growing hub for wellness and preventive care.

Founded in 2013, the Nova Wellness Center has grown into one of the country’s leading chiropractic and wellness clinics, offering a holistic approach to healing without drugs or surgery.
Under Dr. Ashietey’s leadership, Nova Wellness Center has earned multiple recognitions for excellence, customer care, and innovation within the health sector.

Speaking after receiving the honour, Dr. Ashietey described the recognition as a motivation to deepen her mission of improving community health outcomes. She emphasised the need for increased public awareness on preventive health, integrated medicine, and wellness-based lifestyle changes, especially in urban Ghana.

“As a country, we are seeing rising interest in preventive and holistic care. This recognition reinforces the message that wellness is not a luxury. It is essential for national development,” she noted.

With branches in Accra and Kumasi, Nova Wellness Center provides an integrative approach to healthcare, focusing on chiropractic adjustments for conditions such as neck and back pain, non-surgical spinal decompression for sciatica and disc diseases, and regenerative medicine therapies.

The clinic also offers a variety of spa services, including sauna treatments and massage therapy, in addition to comprehensive wellness programmes.

Building on this foundation of integrative health, Dr. Ashietey also announced the upcoming launch of Nova Viva, an advanced regenerative medicine and longevity clinic designed to bring evidence-based, physician-led anti-aging therapies to West Africa.

The Global Entrepreneurship Festival is a global platform dedicated to celebrating and catalysing entrepreneurship across different levels and sectors while advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through innovation, enterprise, creativity, technology and collaboration.
