Miss Jamaica is expected to leave the hospital soon, according to a new update from the Miss Universe Organization.
In a statement shared Monday, November 24, with People, pageant president Raúl Rocha said the latest medical report shows that Dr. Gabrielle Henry is “in good health and nearing discharge,” offering the clearest outlook yet following her fall during last week’s preliminary competition.
Henry has been hospitalized in Thailand since November 19, when she fell off the stage during the evening gown round at the 2025 Miss Universe pageant.
Rocha said the organization chose to release a limited update to address widespread questions about her condition while still protecting her privacy.
“Out of respect for Dr. Henry and her family, the Organization maintains strict discretion regarding specific details of her medical status,” Rocha wrote in the statement, shared by the official Miss Jamaica team. “We believe that matters concerning her health should be communicated only at the appropriate time and solely at the family's discretion, or by Dr. Henry herself should she choose to do so.”
Rocha added that he was directly involved in responding to the incident when it happened, noting that he personally went onstage to help Henry before coordinating immediate medical attention and overseeing her transfer to the hospital. He also confirmed that he remained with Henry’s family in the emergency room and recommended “a series of precautionary actions” to ensure she received thorough evaluations from multiple specialists.
The organization has covered all hotel, hospital, and travel costs for Henry and her family during her recovery. Rocha acknowledged the “difficult moments and unexpected concerns” over the past several days but said each issue was addressed with the support of the medical team in Bangkok.
Following the fall, Henry was seen being taken out on a stretcher, and her family later confirmed she was being monitored in the intensive care unit.
Her sister, Dr. Phylicia Henry-Samuels, previously shared that Henry “isn’t doing as well as we would have hoped,” but said doctors were continuing close and specialized care.
Rocha closed his update by thanking supporters and reiterating that the organization would share only essential information as Henry recovers. “We are grateful that she is now close to being released from the hospital,” he said.
