Why We Are Organising Miss Health Beauty Pageant – Dr. Alaefula
The man behind the Miss Health Nigeria beauty pageant, Dr. Uchendu Alaeufula, Chief Medical Director of Jay Alams Hospital, has given some insight into the concept behind the project. Dr. Alaefula, who was speaking with Alternative Health & Lifestyles in his office, said the project was informed by the need to make health consciousness a vital part of the society’s thought process. According to him, the quest is to find a pretty, young, healthy and caring young lady who would act as both a role model and health ambassador. The contestant must be between 18 to 27 age bracket and should be up to 5’8feet in height.

“Through out her reign, the queen will be engaged in health promotion campaign in major cities and local communities in Nigeria. We are hoping to ahieve better healthy living and lifestyles of the masses through the project,” Dr. Alaefula stated.
He revealed that though the project is taking off as a national one, the focus of the organisers is actually the African continent; hence after the Miss Health Nigeria, the next will be Miss Health Africa pageant.
The zonal competitions, he revealed, will take place in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Jos, Benin City, Owerri and Ilorin where finalists will qualify to take part in the national grand finale. Winners will go home with mouth watering prizes, including a brand new car for the overall winner who will act as health ambassador for the pageant for the next one year.
On making sure that the pageant does not rock with scandals as is often witnessed in most beauty pageants organised in the country, Alaefula said those scandals were a result of poor planning and execution on the part of the organisers who, he said, most times, rush into the pageant without taking time to consider the logistics.
“The Miss Health pageant has been so well researched and all logistics put in place that the incidence of scandals can never occur,” he told our correspondent.
According to him, unlike most beauty pageants in which contestants go almost nude, the contestants of Miss Heath pageant will not be made to undergo that kind of stress as the purpose of the pageant is to promote health and health consciousness in the country and Diaspora.
