"I couldn't even talk some time ago. But now, I'm gaining my speech back little by little. I also couldn't remember anything, but now I can," she stated, describing her gradual recovery process.

Moesha Boduong's health crisis
Moesha Boduong's health issues started in 2021 when she tried jumping from an unfinished building days after announcing herself as a born-again Christian.
Many months after going off social media, she resurfaced and seemed to be recovering until she suffered a stroke. She was reported to have fallen and hit her head, leading to eventual paralysis.
Her brother Ebito Boduong, who broke the news of her stroke in early 2024, set up a GoFundMe account to help cover the medical expenses. The account aimed to raise $10,000, with supporters offering contributions to aid Moesha’s recovery.
Musician Becca donated a notable $2,000, as did Professor Benedicta Yayra Fosu-Mensah, a senior research fellow with the Institute for Environment and Sanitation Studies at the University of Ghana.
Efya, Fella Makafui, Serwaa Amihere, and Akuapem Poloo also rallied to support her. Acknowledging these efforts, Moesha expressed her profound gratitude and reiterated her request for prayers.
"I want to thank everyone for the support. I really appreciate it, but the last thing I ask is [that] they should all pray for me," the actress added.
Moesha Boduong's career and liposuction
Before her health crisis, Moesha Boduong had established herself in Ghana's entertainment industry through films, including Amakye and Dede, Pool Party, and John and John.
She was also known for her philanthropic work through the Moesha Foundation, which focused on supporting underprivileged children.
At the peak of her career, Moesha was one of the most talked about actresses on social media after she emerged as one of the pioneers of cosmetic surgeries among Ghanaian celebrities. She was also prone to controversies.
In 2021, Moesha Boduong is on record to have said that she opened the eyes of Ghanaians to liposuction.
In an interview, she claimed that many actresses and female musicians had copied her to work on their bodies but were deceiving the public that the shapes were natural.
Moesha complained of being badmouthed all the time while the others kept hiding who they truly were.
Moesha Boduong's CNN interview controversy
Prior to expressing her frustrations about her liposuction criticisms, Moesha had sparked a major controversy with an interview with CNN.
In the interview, Moesha claimed that the state of Ghana’s economy had compelled her to engage in an affair with a married man for survival.
“Our economy is such that you just need someone to take care of you, because you can't make enough money as a woman here. When you want to get an apartment in Ghana, you pay two years in advance and I just started working; where will I get the money?" she wondered.
