Health and Personal Care Booking App in Ghana
Health and personal care covers a wide range of businesses that share one need: people booking time with a qualified person. A physiotherapist in Ridge sees patients in 45-minute blocks, a dietitian in Tema runs consultations and follow-ups, an optician in Kumasi does eye tests, a skincare studio in Osu offers facials and peels, and a pharmacy may run blood pressure checks. AyaBookings gives each of these businesses a booking page with its own services, staff and hours. Clients pick a service on the web, over WhatsApp or through USSD, and a text reminds them ahead of the visit. Consultation fees can be collected in cash with no charge, or online by Mobile Money with a 5% fee, and you can require a deposit on chosen services. Practitioners see their appointments in the AyaBookings for Business app. Nothing is charged for using the platform itself.
Why Ghana businesses choose AyaBookings
- Different practitioners keep separate diaries, so a physio session and a dietitian review never collide.
- Clients book the service they need without calling during working hours, which suits people who can only book at night.
- SMS reminders help with follow-up visits, which people commonly forget once they feel better.
- Customer records show past appointments, helping you plan check-ins for regular clients.
- Optional Mobile Money deposits reduce no-shows for longer consultations and treatments.

Built for how you work in Ghana
- This category suits practices that are smaller than a hospital but still need structured appointments.
- Many health and wellness clients book follow-ups weeks ahead, so reminders do much of the work of bringing them back.
- USSD booking helps clients outside the cities, or older clients who prefer basic phones.
- AyaBookings handles appointments and payments for bookings; it is not a clinical records system.

Free to create your booking page. No monthly subscription. No fee on cash bookings. Pay only 5% when customers pay online with Mobile Money or card. Take deposits upfront when you need to secure a slot.

Frequently asked questions
- Which businesses fit health and personal care?
- Practices that see people by appointment but are not hospitals: physiotherapists, dietitians and nutritionists, opticians, dental practices, skincare and dermatology-style studios, pharmacies that run blood pressure or sugar checks, hearing care, and grooming services. If your work is booked by time with a named practitioner, it fits.
- Can each practitioner have their own schedule?
- Yes. Add each practitioner with their consulting days and the services they offer. A physiotherapist who sees clients only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday will only appear on those days, and a dietitian's follow-ups won't eat into the optician's eye tests.
- What does AyaBookings charge a practice?
- The practice pays nothing to use it. When a client pays a consultation fee in cash at your desk, no fee applies. When a client prepays by MoMo, AyaBookings deducts 5% from that payment.
- Can I require payment before an appointment?
- Yes. For long sessions such as a first physiotherapy assessment or a skin treatment, you can ask for a MoMo deposit upfront. Short reviews can stay pay-at-the-desk.
- How do clients without data book?
- Older clients and people in towns with weak network often prefer USSD. They key your code into any handset and choose the service from a menu, and the appointment appears on your list straight away.
- Will clients be reminded about follow-ups?
- Yes. Follow-up visits are where most people drift away once they feel better. An SMS before each appointment brings them back for the review they agreed to.
Give every practitioner a clear appointment list and every client an easy way to book.
