Veteran Ghana Actor Dies of Kidney Failure in China

Popular Ghana actor, Nii Odoi Mensah is dead. The former President of Ghana Actors Guild died in China for a kidney transplant which became necessary after doctors declared his two kidneys incapable of functioning well enough to keep him alive.  Nii Odoi then went to China upon hearing of a hospital which could treat him.
Nii Odoi Mensah had announced in January last year that he was suffering from chronic kidney failure and he needed to spend about $300 each week for dialysis treatment, and while receiving a donation from actress Juliet Ibrahim, he disclosed that 'I’m a chronic kidney patient,' and called for public support to get medical treatment.
Juliet Ibrahim, who posted the video of the actor's plea on her Instagram page, last year, added the caption: "My last donation to veteran actor Nii Odoi Mensah who is now a chronic kidney failure patient. He is in need of your help he has lost both kidneys. He has been going through this all alone till he realized he alone can’t pay his hospital bills which cost per dialysis 100 usd 3 times a week for the rest of his life."

Nii who died yesterday was living on dialysis in Ghana but needed a little above $26,000 for treatment Upon hearing of a hospital in China which could treat him.
May his soul rest in peace.
