Baidoo recounted that he moved to Accra years ago to pursue his gospel music ministry after being invited by some pastors who believed God had a mission for him in the city.

Frank Baidoo: Eye problems started with pimple

According to him, his health problems began one morning after he had taken a bath and noticed a small pimple on his face.

Thinking it was nothing serious, Baidoo popped it, yet shortly after, he began experiencing unbearable headaches.

Alarmed by the sudden pain, the gospel musician rushed to the hospital, where he arrived with his head badly swollen.

He was admitted to Mamprobi Polyclinic, where he spent four days under medical care as doctors worked to reduce the swelling.

Although his condition improved at the time, he said the real battle was yet to begin.

More than a year later, Baidoo started feeling sharp pains in his eyes.

He was referred to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with a cranial ulcer.

Baidoo underwent treatment for nearly a year and said he sold all his valuables just to pay hospital bills.
