Miss Universe Jamaica 2025 Dr. Gabrielle Henry, who has been hospitalised in Thailand since a fall from the main stage during the preliminary competition on November 19, is expected to be medically repatriated to Jamaica soon for ongoing care.
A joint statement released on Monday by the Miss Universe Organisation (MUO) and the Henry family confirmed that the doctor’s return will be meticulously planned, stating she will be “accompanied by a full medical escort team” and “transferred directly to hospital for continued treatment and recovery”.
The statement provided details about the severity of Dr. Henry’s injuries from the incident:
- Intracranial haemorrhage with loss of consciousness.
- A fracture and facial lacerations.
- Other significant injuries.
Following the fall, Dr. Henry was immediately admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) in Bangkok. The statement noted that she “remained in critical condition under constant neurological monitoring, and continues to require 24-hour specialist supervision.”
The Monday statement follows an earlier update from Miss Universe Organisation President Raúl Rocha on November 24, who posted to his personal social media account to quell “recent speculation”.
Rocha’s statement at the time noted that despite “difficult moments and unexpected concerns”, the excellent medical care ensured each issue was successfully resolved. He concluded on an optimistic note, sharing that the medical report confirmed that Dr Henry was “in good health and nearing discharge”.
The joint statement concluded with deep expressions of gratitude from the Henry family for the organisation’s “presence and love shown”. It extended their “heartfelt thanks to the people of Jamaica, the Miss Universe community, and supporters worldwide for the overwhelming outpouring of love, prayers, and encouragement”.
She is so fortunate
