Elizabeth Amoaa, the changemaker in women’s health

In the global conversation around health equity, few voices resonate as powerfully as that of Elizabeth Amoaa.

Her work transcends advocacy; it is a live commitment to ensuring that women and girls around the world are not left behind when it comes to reproductive health and education.

Elizabeth’s journey began not in a boardroom or a conference hall, but within the deeply personal landscape of her own medical challenges.

Living with uterus didelphys, a rare condition where a woman is born with two wombs, sometimes two cer­vixes and rarely two vagina canals, Elizabeth faced years of medical misunderstanding, misdiagnosis and silence.

Her eventual diagnoses of endome­triosis and fibroids came only in her thirties, after years of suffering in silence.

Rather than retreat into bitterness or despair, Elizabeth found clarity in purpose.

That purpose would grow into Special Lady Awareness in Ghana and Special Lady Awareness Global Chari­ty in UK, an initiative she launched to break long-held taboos surrounding gynaecological health.

With chapters in both the UK and Ghana, her organisations have become a lifeline for thousands of women and girls, offering education, advocacy and practical support in spaces where reproductive health is still whispered about, if acknowl­edged at all.

Through health forums and medical partnerships, Elizabeth has taken a once-private struggle and trans­formed it into a movement.

In the UK, she collaborates with civic leaders and medical profes­sionals to host community education sessions, shining a light on com­plex conditions like endometriosis, fibroids etc.

In Ghana, her impact is felt direct­ly through the donation of medical supplies, menstrual hygiene products and health workshops that reach deep into underserved communities.

Her leadership goes beyond logis­tics. It’s in the storytelling, the cour­age to write books like The Unspoken Identity – The Woman with Two Vagi­nas, now used as an educational tool in schools across continents.

It’s in her policy engagement, as she contributes to research proj­ects like the UK’s Endo1000 project initiative and in her service roles, including past president of the Rotary Global Hub, now direct membership of Rotary Great Britain and Ireland.

But above all, Elizabeth’s influence lies in her refusal to let any woman feel alone in her health journey.

Her story reminds us that health­care justice is not just about clinical access but it’s about dignity, repre­sentation and truth.

By confronting cultural stigma and empowering others to speak up, Elizabeth has shifted narratives and opened doors that had long been closed to countless women.

Her work invites us all to consider: What if reproductive health educa­tion were truly inclusive? What if access to basic supplies like sanitary pads didn’t depend on social back­ground? What if every girl grew up understanding her body without fear or shame?

Elizabeth Amoaa is not just asking these questions rather, she’s building the answers.

Every voice counts. Every step forward matters. And in the move­ment that Elizabeth leads, there is space for everyone willing to stand for change.

Let us stand together and create a world where reproductive health is not hidden in whispers, but em­braced with compassion, knowledge and support.

A world where women are seen, heard and healed.
