Miss Universe Jamaica Nearing Discharge After Fall

Following a concerning stage fall during the preliminary evening gown round of the Miss Universe pageant in Thailand, there’s positive news regarding Miss Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry. The President of the Miss Universe Organization, Raúl Rocha, has shared an optimistic update on her health.

An Update on Dr. Henry’s Health

In a statement shared via the official Miss Jamaica Instagram page, Rocha announced, “Today, we are pleased to share that the latest medical report confirms that Dr. Gabrielle Henry is in good health and nearing discharge.” This news brings relief after the scary incident where Dr. Henry missed a step and fell off the stage.

The Miss Universe Organization is maintaining discretion regarding specific medical details out of respect for Dr. Henry and her family. However, they confirmed that immediate action was taken to ensure her safety. Rocha himself entered the stage to assist her and oversaw her transfer to the hospital, remaining present with her family.

Focus on Recovery and Support

Dr. Henry had been recovering in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Thailand, with her mother, Maureen, and sister, Dr. Phylicia Henry-Samuels, by her side. Shortly after the accident, her sister had requested prayers, noting that Gabby wasn’t “doing as well as [they] would have hoped” at that time.

The family had previously asked for privacy and for the public to avoid spreading misinformation or negative comments. The Miss Universe organization echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that health matters should only be communicated at the family’s discretion. They expressed gratitude that Dr. Henry is now close to being released from the hospital.

Precautionary Measures and Expert Care

Rocha also mentioned that a series of precautionary actions, some going beyond standard protocol, were recommended to ensure the most accurate evaluation and monitoring. Additional medical specialists were brought in for multiple professional assessments to provide complete clarity on her condition. While specific details about her health remain private, the focus has clearly been on her comprehensive care and recovery.
