Running a diagnostic or medical testing lab in Ghana often means juggling patient calls, walk-ins, and endless WhatsApp messages. From blood tests to scan appointments, scheduling can quickly become a daily challenge especially when patients forget their slots or show up late. That’s why many labs are now switching to AyaBookings, “Ghana’s Booking Platform for Businesses.” Built locally for Ghanaian healthcare providers, AyaBookings makes it easy for patients to book lab tests online or through USSD, receive automatic SMS reminders, and pay securely with Mobile Money all while labs manage everything from one app. AyaBookings isn’t just booking software; it’s a modern way for diagnostic centers to stay organized and serve patients better.
