Daniel Paa Kwesi Ankomah, a 24 year old, beat three others to emerge as the season one winner of the Good Life Game Show on Viasat 1 and took home GHS 5,000 and other consolation prizes.
The Goodlife Game Show is part of the broader “Goodlife Live it Well” campaign implemented by the USAID-supported Behaviour Change Support (BCS) project in collaboration with the Ghana Health Service. This final episode marked the end of 13-week season one game show.
The Goodlife campaign, which was introduced in November last year, emphasizes the need to practice healthy lifestyles in order to enjoy life to the fullest. The campaign links personal happiness to the practice of healthy behaviours and underscores the need to avoid preventable diseases in order to enjoy life to the fullest.
Designed to entertain, inform and educate, the Goodlife Game Show consisted of a unique blend of trivia, multimedia, and health quizes to push the concepts of quality Lifestyle, Health and Wellness to Ghanaians. Five contestants were selected each week to compete on the show and viewers at home were able to participate by answering specific health related questions through the Goodlife short code (1759.
A statement issued in Accra said that “The overall purpose of the BCS project is to assist GHS at the national, regional and district levels to support its efforts to achieve health related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through sustained and coherent social and Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) interventions.”
The project operates on many levels blending community, interpersonal, and mass media approaches in an effort to encourage behavioural change and healthy lifestyles.
The Acting Director of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Frank Nyonator, gave a short speech at the end of the show and presented the grand prize to Mr. Ankomah. Dr. Laurel Fain the chief health officer for USAID Ghana presented the first runner up Jamal Futal with GHS 2,000.
The other two finalists, Gideon Ebo Sackey and Belinda Cudjoe took GHS 1,000 each. Due to the success of the 1st season of the Goodlife Game Show a second season is expected soon.
