Mercy Asiedu donates GH¢50,000 to support Kwadwo Kwakye Obuobi’s kidney transplant

Veteran Ghanaian actress Oheneyere Mercy Asiedu has pledged GH¢50,000 towards the medical treatment of actor Kwadwo Kwakye Obuobi, who is battling a severe kidney condition and urgently requires a kidney transplant.

Speaking during a visit to the actor, Mercy Asiedu announced her personal donation and appealed to Ghanaians to support efforts to raise the remaining funds needed for the life-saving procedure.

“I’m here to donate GH¢50,000 to support him. We need about GH¢700,000 for his kidney transplant. I trust and believe that we will all come together and support him,” she said.

The actress explained that every contribution would make a difference, stressing that the actor needs urgent treatment to stay alive.

“When God touches your heart, we would accept every penny you bring. He needs to stay alive to continue the good work he’s been doing over the years. He’s a member of my production, and we’ve done a lot of work with him,” she added.

Her appeal comes after she revealed in a viral video from the hospital on July 13, 2026, that Kwadwo Kwakye Obuobi’s condition had worsened and that he urgently needs to be flown abroad for a kidney transplant.

Mercy Asiedu noted that the financial burden of the treatment is too great for one person to bear and urged individuals, corporate bodies, and well-wishers to rally behind the actor.

“Our brother Kwadwo Kwakye Obuobi is at the hospital now. I cannot handle the kind of illness he is battling alone. He needs support from all of us. We have to come together and save his life,” she pleaded.

The actress also emphasized the importance of supporting people while they are still alive, pointing out that Kwadwo Kwakye Obuobi has made significant contributions to Ghana’s entertainment industry and deserves help in his time of need.

“We should be able to help people while they are still alive. The sickness he’s battling is so serious that he needs urgent support and to be flown abroad for treatment. I’m pleading with anyone watching me to let’s help him because he’s also a property of Ghana. He has entertained Ghanaians before,” she said.

According to Mercy Asiedu, approximately GH¢700,000 is needed to cover the cost of the actor’s kidney transplant, and she remains hopeful that Ghanaians will unite to help save his life.
