Accra is gearing up for the highly anticipated launch of the fifth edition of Miss Health Ghana, the country’s premier pageant for health practitioners and students, scheduled for Saturday, August 5, 2023.
Themed “Empowering Girls with Menstrual Cups,” the pageant will witness the participation of beautiful ladies selected from various regions, all vying for the coveted and prestigious crown.
Madam Gladys Akyere Rockson, Chief Executive Officer of Lamrock Agency, the organizers of the pageant, shared insights in an interview ahead of the launch. She emphasized that this year’s edition aims to enlighten young ladies about the importance of embracing their periods with confidence and dignity.
“We have created a platform for health professionals and students to actively contribute to the transformative reproductive health campaign. This year, Miss Health Ghana is on a mission to combat period poverty by providing 10,000 girls with menstrual cups,” said Madam Rockson.
She further emphasized the importance of breaking barriers and ensuring that no girl misses out on opportunities due to a lack of access to menstrual hygiene products. In past editions, the pageant has successfully engaged in various health campaigns, including breast cancer awareness, mental health, and first aid administration, among others.
The launch of the pageant is expected to be graced by astute health professionals, and during the event, details such as prizes, dates for the grand finale, and other pertinent information will be unveiled.
Previous winners of Miss Health Ghana, such as Ohemaa Agyekum, Priscilla Serwaa Manu, Leticia Yayra Ama Asigbey, and Hillary Frekue, have undertaken over 50 health projects, benefiting thousands of individuals across the country.
The event has garnered support from esteemed partners and sponsors, including Okumah Hotels, Ocean Green Beach Villa, Accra City Hotels, Bel Aqua, Asouvo Security, Sonotech Diagnostic Centre, Vfs Logistics, and more.
Miss Health Ghana continues to make a significant impact on health awareness and advocacy, and this year’s focus on menstrual cup empowerment aims to contribute to the overall well-being and empowerment of young women in Ghana.
