Greater Accra has once again demonstrated its strength in healthcare excellence as Janet Ogeji Okere, Senior Midwifery Officer at the Shai Osu Doku District Hospital, Dodowa, was named 1st Runner-Up, National Best Nurse/Midwife 2025.
The recognition was conferred at the 6th Annual National Dinner and Awards Night 2025, an event dedicated to honouring outstanding nurses and midwives whose commitment, competence, and service continue to shape healthcare delivery across the country.
Janet Ogeji Okere’s achievement is not symbolic; it reflects years of disciplined service, professional integrity, and hands-on dedication to maternal and neonatal care. Working in a district hospital setting, she represents the often-uncelebrated frontline professionals who carry the burden of care under demanding conditions and still deliver results.
This national recognition places both Greater Accra Region and the Shai Osu Doku District Hospital in the spotlight, reinforcing the fact that quality healthcare leadership thrives not only in tertiary centres but also at the district level where impact is most direct.
As accolades are celebrated, the call is clear: this is a moment to step up even further. The responsibility that comes with national recognition demands renewed commitment, stronger advocacy, and continued excellence in service to improve health outcomes for all.
Congratulations to Janet Ogeji Okere—a testament to professionalism, resilience, and the enduring value of midwifery in national development.
