The Ghanaian gospel music community has been hit with sobering news as popular singer Ebenezer Osei Kumi, widely known as Minister Osei Kumi, is currently battling a severe medical crisis. Known for his soul-stirring contributions to the industry, the musician’s sudden health decline has sparked widespread concern among fans and colleagues alike.
The gravity of Minister Osei Kumi’s condition became public after media personality Dek360 visited him at the health facility, where the singer has already spent ten days. Reports indicate that the musician is suffering from a critical infection affecting his liver, a diagnosis that has left him unable to consume food or water through conventional means.
During the visit, he was observed with a feeding tube fitted through his nose and bandages on his wrists, signaling the intensity of the clinical intervention he is undergoing. According to his sister, who spoke during the visit, the medical team is currently administering all nutrition and prescribed treatments through the tube as he remains under constant observation.
She shared the heartbreaking reality of his daily struggle, noting that the family spends approximately GH¢15,000 every two days to maintain his treatment schedule. This staggering cost has placed an overwhelming financial strain on the household, leading the family to reach out to the public and the gospel fraternity for urgent assistance.
The situation has reached a point where local doctors are reportedly considering flying the "Yesu Ba Maa Me" hitmaker outside of Ghana for advanced medical treatment, though the specific destination and total projected costs for such a move remain undisclosed. Minister Osei Kumi, who has previously collaborated on beloved tracks like "Mayeyie Rensa Da," remains conscious and was even able to offer a brief response during the recent visit to his bedside.
His sister’s plea was clear and urgent as she appealed to fellow gospel musicians and the general public, stating that the mounting expenses are beyond what the family can sustain alone. As social media users circulate videos of the ailing musician, the collective hope is that the necessary funds will be raised in time to facilitate the specialized care he requires to overcome this life-threatening liver infection.
Ebenezer Osei Kumi’s journey toward recovery is currently a race against time and mounting medical bills. While the medical team at Nyaho Clinic continues to provide critical care, the ultimate goal of seeking specialized treatment abroad depends heavily on the generosity of the public and the music industry. We urge everyone to keep Minister Osei Kumi in their prayers and, if possible, reach out to the family through the shared contact channels to offer financial support.
