The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, has fulfilled a promise he recently made to ailing Kumawood actor Kwaku Twumasi during the recent Ashanti Festival (AshantiFest) celebrations.

The minister has provided the necessary funds to facilitate his admission to the hospital for medical treatment following his health challenges over the years.

The veteran actor was seen being escorted by blogger Shiny Creations and two individuals as he entered a car headed home after leaving the hospital.

The ailing Kwaku Twumasi's medical treatment comes after the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, promised to get him the medical treatment he needed.

Dr Amoakohene sent a delegation to the actor’s residence to present him with a citation and honour his contributions to the Kumawood film industry.

Kwaku Twumasi’s health challenges

Kwaku Twumasi has been battling health issues since he was struck by a mild stroke, which left him bedridden for over four years.

The veteran actor, who gained prominence in the 2000s for starring in popular Kumawood movies alongside Agya Koo, Nana Ama McBrown, Mercy Asiedu, Kyeiwaa and many others, now has difficulty walking, although he can talk like any normal person.

In an old interview, he shared that the period of his illness was a hard time for him, but his family was so supportive, singling out his wife for praise.

He said he had suspended his acting career due to his health condition but continues to direct and produce movies.
