Veteran Ghanaian actor and pastor Osofo Moses has spoken out about a serious health crisis that struck him late in 2025, leaving him struggling with daily routines. In an interview with media personality Zionfelix on the Uncut Show, Osofo Moses shared his story of intense physical suffering, describing a period where sitting, standing, and sleeping became painful ordeals. His condition deteriorated to a point where he feared being permanently confined to a wheelchair.

Desperate for answers, Osofo Moses sought medical attention at several facilities, including Tema General Hospital and private hospitals. Despite spending thousands of Ghana cedis on consultations and treatment, he did not experience meaningful relief at first. The fear of becoming permanently bedridden and wheelchair-dependent weighed heavily on him throughout that period. Osofo Moses's battle with illness was a challenging experience that tested his resolve.

A turning point came when a friend connected him with a doctor who visited him at home. The doctor ran laboratory tests and administered treatment that began to turn things around. However, Osofo Moses stressed that he remains on treatment to this day, describing it as costly. He also receives an injection every three months as part of his continuing care. This development brought hope to Osofo Moses, who is grateful for the progress made.

Beyond his health ordeal, Osofo Moses spoke candidly about the financial strain he has endured throughout his career. He revealed that in a previous year, he had also been bedridden and had come close to death, lamenting that over 15 years in Akan drama had not shielded him from severe financial hardship. This experience has left him with a deep appreciation for the value of financial support.

Osofo Moses expressed deep gratitude to those who rallied around him, including fellow actor and philanthropist Oboy Salinko, who contributed towards his medical bills during the toughest stretch. His wife's support also drew warm acknowledgement. These gestures of kindness and support have made a significant impact on Osofo Moses's life.

With treatment costs still mounting, Osofo Moses made a direct appeal to anyone willing to assist him financially. He emphasized that the burden of his ongoing care is something he cannot shoulder alone. This appeal is a testament to his determination to overcome his challenges and continue his career.

Osofo Moses's story highlights the struggles faced by many Ghanaians, including celebrities, who often face financial and health challenges. His courage in sharing his experience is expected to inspire others to speak out and seek help when needed.
