Man of Many Awards

He has over the years been awarded by several institutions for his immense contributions to the development of Ghana and his selfless leadership, and humanitarian projects.
Dr. Anyah has for several years, exhibited an exemplary leadership and management culture at the Holy Trinity Medical Centre and the Holy Trinity Spa and Health Farm, putting people, not money or material gains, at the centre of his decision-making process.
Indeed, he has won several humanity awards for his great generosity and also touching lives in Ghana in the area of health/medical tourism, integrative medicine, business excellence in healthcare, leadership in health sector, and management in health sector.

Speaking after the award ceremony, Dr. Anyah said “by God’s grace I have had about five best CEO awards.”
He said “but it looks when you say best CEO and Respected CEO, there is something different. And the respected appears to be something that is looked at probably not only by the internal customers but by the eternal customers and people who may not be your direct customers.”
“And one thing this is showing us is that, even as a CEO, we are in an inter-related world, and that your work ethics, your productivity, the way you take care of people, everybody sees it.”
He said being a good leader is not about money but rather how one treats people, and bond with employees.
Dr. Anyah has been a practising medical professional for 41 years.
