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.
The Ghana Police Service has arrested a man suspected of running a romance scam that targeted women with false marriage promises, blackmail, and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
The suspect, Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng, was arraigned alongside Sally Akosua Amoasah before the *
Accra Circuit Court 1 on charges of conspiracy to commit crime, defrauding by false pretences, and non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
According to preliminary investigations, Kwarteng posed as a *pastor conducting online church services on Instagram. He allegedly told women that “God had revealed” they were his future wives.
To gain their trust, police say he went as far as meeting their families and presenting them with promise rings.
Investigators allege the suspect then obtained intimate images of some victims and used them to blackmail them for money.
He is also accused of introducing victims to a fake car tyre business. Under the pretext of shipping and clearing containers of tyres, he allegedly collected thousands of dollars from them before becoming unreachable.
Police further allege that Kwarteng shared the intimate images of some victims with his wife, Sally Akosua Amoasah, who is also accused of threatening the victims.
Seven victims have so far reported the matter to the Police. Investigations indicate the offences date back to 2021.
The court remanded Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng into Police custody to reappear on August 6, 2026. Sally Akosua Amoasah was granted bail.
The Ghana Police Service says it continues to receive complaints from other possible victims.
The Service is urging anyone who may have had similar encounters with the suspect to report to the nearest Police station to assist with ongoing investigations.

Ghana’s tourism industry is in mourning following the sudden death of Prince Anthony Bart-Appiah, a pioneering figure credited with helping to reconnect the African diaspora to the continent.
Prince Anthony passed away in the early hours of Saturday, July 26, 2026, at his private residence in Spintex, Accra.
He was instrumental in the development and promotion of “The Year of Return,” the flagship tourism campaign that invited members of the African diaspora to return to Ghana in 2019.
The initiative is widely regarded as a turning point that boosted Ghana’s tourism numbers and strengthened cultural ties with Black communities across the world.
Beyond his work with the GTA, Prince Anthony was the Chief Exexutive Officer (CEO) of Bridgezone, an agency dedicated to showcasing Africa to Western audiences and fostering cultural and business connections between the continent and the diaspora.
Colleagues describe him as passionate, strategic, and committed to telling authentic African stories that drive tourism, investment, and pride.
Widely known as Prince Anthony, he served as a Board Member of the Ghana Tourism Authority from 2025 to date.
A former British Army officer and a royal of the Akwamu clan, he brought discipline, vision, and a deep sense of heritage to every role he held
Prince Anthony was also a proud father to two teenagers, whom he deeply cherished.
In a statement, the *Ghana Tourism Authority extended its heartfelt condolences to the grieving family, friends, and all sympathizers.
“The tourism industry has lost a pioneering figure and a vital link to the diasporan community,” the statement read.
The statement further added that “We pray for strength for the family during this difficult time.”
Tributes have since poured in from tourism stakeholders, creatives, and diasporan groups who say Prince Anthony’s legacy will continue to shape how the world sees and experiences Ghana.
