Bawumia Visits Ailing YOLO Actor Drogba
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has paid a visit to John Peasah, aka Drogba, who is presently battling a strange disease.
The unexpected visit reportedly took place on Tuesday, March 12. The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer went to the actor’s residence to express his sympathy and provide assistance during his treatment.
A video shared on X revealed the warm welcome extended to the Vice President by the actor’s family members. Drogba has unfortunately been diagnosed with demyelinating diseases.
This distressing information was brought to light by skit maker and actor Jefferey Nortey, who further emphasized the urgent need for financial assistance to facilitate Drogba’s crucial treatment.
A flyer Jeff shared has the following message:
John Bredu Peasah (Drogba) of Yolo series has been diagnosed with a Demyelinating Disease and undergoing treatment for the past Two and Half years. He is in need of financial support to aid in his treatment. Kindly donate to support his treatment. Thank you.
According to Mayo Clinic, a demyelinating disease is any condition that causes damage to the protective covering (myelin sheath) that surrounds nerve fibers in your brain, the nerves leading to the eyes (optic nerves) and spinal cord.
When the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve impulses slow or even stop, causing neurological problems.
Based on information from a health website, demyelinating diseases do not have a cure, however, disease-modifying therapies have the potential to change the course of the disease in certain patients.
These therapies can be combined with symptomatic treatment. The symptoms and advancement of demyelinating diseases differ among individuals.
It is crucial to have an early diagnosis and engage in conversations about treatment possibilities.
