A new statement has now been released by Miss Universe Organisation president Raul Rocha, assuring that Gabrielle Henry is healthy and close to discharge. He also appreciated the excellent medical supervision she received, adding that the MUO has borne all the expenses, including her family’s accommodation and travel.

The statement clarified all health concerns regarding Dr Gabrielle Henry, who is an ophthalmologist by profession, which arose after her sister Dr Phylicia Henry-Samuels reportedly claimed she wasn’t doing well.
