The Miss Health Organisation, a Ghanaian non-profit focused on health advocacy and women’s empowerment, has officially announced the winners of its latest pageant, crowning new ambassadors for health promotion in Ghana and across Africa.
Established in 2018 by Lamrock Agency, the organisation has carved a unique niche by combining pageantry with health education and advocacy.
Through its annual Miss Health pageant, it promotes physical, mental and social well-being, in line with the World Health Organization’s definition of health as a holistic state of well-being.
Headlining this year’s event is the crowning of Miss Health Africa, a continental initiative designed to unite women in the health sector to advance wellness advocacy beyond national borders.
The Miss Health Africa 2025 crown was won by Dr Malegho Chelsie Jomsentut, a medical doctor from Cameroon, whose campaign centres on cardiovascular health, with a strong focus on reducing hypertension in African communities.
At the national level, Doreen Afriyie Afoakwa, a professional nurse, emerged as Miss Health Ghana 2025. Her advocacy prioritises mental health, particularly support systems for unemployed health professionals, drawing attention to the psychological toll faced by many within the healthcare workforce.
Maud Codjie, a final-year nursing student, was named First Runner-Up. She has led sustained public education on hepatitis B, engaging schools, churches and correctional facilities to promote awareness, testing and prevention.
The Second Runner-Up position went to Mabel Obeng, a realtor and master’s student in philosophy and leadership, whose advocacy focuses on menstrual health education and leadership empowerment for young women and girls.
The newly crowned queens are expected to lead health campaigns, encourage preventive care and influence positive lifestyle choices within communities across Ghana and the wider African continent.
According to the Executive Director of the Miss Health Organisation, Miss Gladys Akyere Rockson, the initiative is rooted in the belief that access to healthcare is a shared responsibility.
She explained that the introduction of Miss Health Africa was inspired by the need to elevate health advocacy to a continental level, stressing that the platform is here to stay.
The organisation has urged the public to support and celebrate the queens as they champion the vision of a healthier Ghana and a healthier Africa.
