Kwaku Twumasi’s health battles
Kwaku Twumasi has been battling health issues after he was struck by a mild stroke over a decade ago, which left him bed-ridden for more than four years.
According to the actor, the illness left him immobilised as he found it difficult to walk.
His speech, which was initially fine, was also later affected by the ailment.
Due to his health battles, Twumasi, who rose to fame in the 2000s for starring in popular Kumawood movies alongside Agya Koo, Nana Ama McBrown, Mercy Asiedu, Kyeiwaa and many others, eventually suspended his career to focus on his recovery.
The actor has praised his wife on many occasions for sticking by him throughout his health challenges.
His last public appearance was in June, when actor Osoode and his team delivered foodstuffs, toiletries, and other essentials to his home, fulfilling a long-standing promise.
The actor broke down in tears at the time over the touching gesture, stirring emotional responses on social media.
Below is the Instagram video of Osoode’s donation to Kwaku Twumasi.
