● Dr. Louisa Ansong-Satekla
Working through to the pinnacle to become a dentist, has not been an easy journey for the better-half of celebrated dancehall musician Stonebwoy, Dr Louisa Ansong-Satekla.
Narrating her rigorous yet inspiring journey, she said seeing her father practise as dentist growing up was something which influenced her decision to be one and did everything possible to get the dream materialised.
Buoyed by determination to get to the top, she worked her fingers to the bone in her practice and it came as no surprise when she recently won the Health Personality of the Year Awards at the 2022 Women’s Choice Africa Awards (WCAA).
The award recognises her long-standing dedication to clinical excellence in the field of Dentistry. She was awarded for being committed to her task of saving lives and prioritising the health of others.
Sharing her inspiring story with The Spectator, Dr Ansong-Satekla advised the youth to always take advantage of opportunities that come their way in their quest to succeed in their professions of choice.
The Ghanaian-based renowned Dental Surgeon, was born to Dr and Mrs Kwakye Ansong. Her mom is a Fashion Designer, while her dad who inspired her professional career, is a Dentist.
Speaking to The Spectator about her educational journey, she said she started with the SOS-Hermann Gmeiner International College, Community 6, Tema, and then continued at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), to pursue her dentistry dream.
With fortitude and hard work, she graduated in 2016 – topping the KNUST Dental School – sweeping six out of nine awards, and on top of it, was adjudged the Overall Best Student.
The good-looking dentist, who currently practises at Charisma Dental Clinic in Accra, Ghana, graduated on Friday from the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration, GIMPA with Masters in Public Health.
Louisa is a Christian and fellowships with the Yachal House in Accra.
She is married to multiple award-winning dancehall musician, Livingstone Etse Satekla, known in the showbiz space as Stonebwoy, and they are blessed with two children, Jidula and Janam.
Touching on her favourite food, she said Lilo Rice with any accompaniment, adding that “she loves research and does some fashion designing during her leisure.”
She has received numerous nominations and awards throughout her professional career, including the 2021 Ghana Outstanding Women Awards (GOWA) and Pulse Health Influencer of the Year for her enormous contribution to Ghana’s development and giving back to society.
Her clinic has been the destination for some celebrities, such as Davido, Stonebwoy, Wizkid, KiDi, Joselyn Dumas, and many more, seeking expert guidance on their dental health.
Dr Louisa Ansong-Satekla is currently the official FDI World Dental Federation Ambassador for World Oral Health Day 22, using her wealth of experience to raise awareness about the importance of good oral health and its vital role in securing overall health and well-being.
She is also a Brand Ambassador for Vien Health.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
