Empowering All Communities with Health Knowledge
At AskAwayHealth, we are committed to simplifying health information to make it accessible for all, especially those in minority and marginalized communities.
By breaking down complex medical topics into easy-to-understand resources—through blogs, videos, infographics, and more—we empower individuals with the knowledge they need to take control of their health.
Healthcare can feel overwhelming, and the journey is often even more challenging for underserved groups who face unique barriers.
Our mission is to reduce these obstacles by providing clarity and support for every step of the healthcare process.
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality, unbiased health information that enables them to make informed decisions, take proactive steps, and ultimately achieve better health outcomes.
In essence, AskAwayHealth is a health information and communication platform focused on Clarity, Knowledge, Empowerment, and Guidance for diverse communities, especially those often overlooked by traditional healthcare channels.
Meet the Founder: Dr. Sylvia Kama-Kieghe
Hello, I’m Dr. Sylvia Kama-Kieghe, founder of AskAwayHealth.
With over two decades of experience as a General Practitioner working in Nigeria and the UK, I understand the particular challenges that minority and marginalized communities encounter within healthcare systems.
In family, community, and primary care, I’ve seen how limited resources, cultural barriers, and systemic issues create additional pressures for both patients and healthcare providers.
At AskAwayHealth, my team of health and technology experts works to bridge the information gap, offering reliable, easy-to-understand health content that supports individuals and communities in navigating their healthcare journeys.
Our goal is to empower everyone, especially those in underserved areas, to make informed decisions and take charge of their health.
I am also honored to serve as Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) SYNT Faculty, since October 2024, and as a Member of the Board of Trustees for the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health (FSRH), since November 2021—roles that enable me to advocate for accessible, inclusive healthcare practices across diverse communities.
