Dr. Felix Anyah was born on 29 November 1950 into a poor family of Christian faith healers who do not use orthodox medicine when sick. He was given the name Gamesu, meaning the one who ends worries and brings comfort.

His surname was derived from the characteristics of a tree called ‘Ayatsi’ in Ewe and represents – Truth, Boldness, Unbreakable and strength in Christ.

As ‘Gamesu’ Dr. Anyah is committed to end the suffering of the poor or disadvantaged. Among his numerous kind and charitable social activities include:

• Adoption of the Kaneshie cripples home in 1989 for free medical care for the past 30 years.

• Establishment of the ‘HELP THE EPILEPTIC’ charity for free drugs to epileptics nationwide who cannot afford their drugs since 1995 to date.

As any ANYAH, Dr. Anyah with entrepreneurial and biblical boldness albeit fraught with peril, sought the court judgment on his new integrative medical Department which was misconstrued to be a hotel – and won at the High Court.

He grew up in Christian faith, passion for helping solve people’s problems, humble yet inwardly bold. He imbibed the following healthy lifestyle from the culture of the faith healers church; regular walkercises, healthy eating, adequate sleep, positive attitudes and passion for complementary and alternative medicine including prayer, meditation, steam bath with herbs.

His aim to become a lawyer was changed to a medical doctor when he escaped death with severe pneumonia and was abducted from parents by grandaunt, who had him recover with orthodox medicine.

He grew up with excellent human relations, entrepreneurial spirit, philanthropy, marketing, writing and counseling skills and with boldness to use the legal system to advance his career.

In 2003, as a member of the Ghana Medical & Dental Council – a statutory body for the regulation of medical practice in Ghana, he researched, published and advocated professionally ethical advertising for medical practitioners.

This has positively changed the early very conservative position of the Council against professional advertising by doctors in Ghana. In 2007, Dr. Anyah won a landmark case in medical jurisprudence in court against the Government of Ghana (Value Added Tax), on the payment of VAT by his novel Health SPA by using the WHO definition of Health – “a state physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing and not only absence of disease” –

This judgment has widened the view of ill-health by practitioners, policy makers and parliament who earlier emphasized physical diseases. Dr. Anyah has been a role model and counsellor for young doctors on ETHICS, BUSINESS and SUCCESS in Medical Practice – shaped by his several awards of excellence in BUSINESS;
