Nollywood stalwart Amaechi Muonagor is currently undergoing medical care for kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke, as disclosed by his cousin, Hon Tony Muonagor.
In a heartfelt post on social media, Tony shared a picture of himself beside the actor in a hospital bed, shedding light on the actor’s health challenges and appealing for support.
His detailed post read, “This picture was taken two weeks ago when I visited my cousin Amaechi Monagor (Aguiyi) at the Nnewi Teaching Hospital. I initially had wanted to quietly assist as much as I could but later decided to make this post to clarify some things so that my friends, fans, and Amaechi’s fans, and indeed the online community can be better informed.
“Amaechi is currently down with kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke. He had been managing his diabetes over the years and living his life. He is presently undergoing weekly dialysis and other treatments at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi.”
Tony Muonagor revealed that the family has been shouldering the financial burden of Amaechi’s medical expenses for years. However, the recent stroke has intensified the situation, prompting the family to seek assistance from the public.
“His family had been shouldering the costs for years, until the recent stroke made his case more serious and indeed more expensive to battle alone, hence the publicity.
“Within the limits of my capabilities, I have done and am still doing my best to assist as much as I can, even reaching out to well-meaning individuals who are donating to this cause.
“Many groups have been donating money for his hospital bills. As of today, there’s some improvement. His blood sugar is under control, but he is still on admission,” he added.
