The Miss Health Organization, a Ghana-based non-profit dedicated to promoting health awareness and empowering women in the health sector, has announced its newly crowned queens, marking another milestone in its growing continental impact.
Founded in 2018 by Lamrock Agency, the Miss Health Organization has emerged as a pioneer in blending pageantry with purposeful health advocacy.
Through its annual pageant, the organization champions physical, mental, and social well-being, aligning with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition of health as a complete state of well-being and not merely the absence of disease.
At the centre of this year’s celebration is the crowning of Miss Health Africa 2026, a continental platform that brings together women in the health field from across Africa to advocate for wellness on a broader scale.
The coveted Miss Health Africa 2025 title was awarded to Dr. Malegho Chelsie Jomsentut, a medical doctor from Cameroon, whose advocacy focuses on cardiovascular health, particularly the reduction of hypertension across African communities.
On the national front, Doreen Afriyie Afoakwa, a professional nurse, was crowned Miss Health Ghana 2025.
She is a strong advocate for mental health, with special emphasis on providing support for unemployed health workers.
Her work highlights the often-overlooked mental health challenges within the healthcare workforce.
The 1st Runner-Up, Miss Health Ghana 2025, is Maud Codjie, a final-year nursing student passionate about hepatitis B awareness.
For years, Maud and her team have actively engaged schools, churches, and prisons to educate communities on prevention, testing, and management of the disease.
Claiming the position of 2nd Runner-Up, Miss Health Ghana 2025, is Mabel Obeng, a realtor and master’s student in philosophy and leadership. Her advocacy centres on menstrual health education and leadership development, with a strong focus on empowering young women and girls.
These newly crowned queens are expected to spearhead health advocacy initiatives, promote preventive healthcare, and inspire positive behavioural change within communities across Ghana and the African continent.
Speaking on the vision behind the initiative, the Executive Director of the Miss Health Organization, Miss Gladys Akyere Rockson, emphasized inclusivity in healthcare. She noted that achieving healthcare for all requires collective responsibility, regardless of geographical location, gender, or tribe. According to her, the introduction of Miss Health Africa was driven by the need to promote health on a larger, continental scale, adding that the platform “has come to stay.”
With its continued commitment to empowering women and promoting wellness, the Miss Health Organization is positioning itself as a powerful force for health advocacy in Africa.
The organization has called on the public to join in celebrating these trailblazing women as they champion the cause of a healthier Ghana and a healthier Africa.
