John Kumah

Accurate information has emerged regarding the cause of death of John Kumah, the late Deputy Minister of Finance, putting to rest rumors of poisoning.

It has been confirmed that Kumah succumbed to Multiple Myeloma, a medical condition that he had been battling with some time.

Contrary to initial reports speculating foul play, it was revealed that Captain Smart, the morning show host of Onua TV, had inaccurately informed the public about the cause of Kumah’s death. As a result, Lillian Kumah, the late MP’s wife, has reported Captain Smart to the police for spreading false information.

According to media reports, John Kumah had long been suffering from Multiple Myeloma and was undergoing treatment in Germany at the time of his passing. Multiple Myeloma is a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow.

These abnormal plasma cells grow uncontrollably, crowding out healthy blood cells and leading to various complications such as weakened bones, anemia, kidney damage, and suppressed immune function.

While the exact cause of Multiple Myeloma is currently unknown, it has been observed that an excess of protein molecules called immunoglobulins in the blood cells can contribute to the development of the condition. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Multiple Myeloma at present, but it can be managed to improve the patient’s quality of life.

Common symptoms of Multiple Myeloma include bone pain, weakness, fatigue, frequent infections, weight loss, and excessive thirst. Treatment for the condition typically involves a combination of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation, and supportive care to manage symptoms.

The treatment approach for Multiple Myeloma is tailored to each individual, considering their specific situation. It may include various therapies such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, steroids, stem cell transplantation, radiation therapy, and supportive care.

The revelation of the true cause of John Kumah’s death sheds light on the importance of accurate reporting and the need for responsible dissemination of information, especially during sensitive times. The public should rely on verified sources to avoid unnecessary panic and confusion.
