About KODA and the G6PD issue. 1. We can neither blame him nor the healthcare team, as we were all not there and don’t have details about his case. 2. G6PD (Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) is actually an enzyme that protects your Red Blood Cells from being destroyed. 3. Note that your Red Blood Cells (RBCs) play a crucial role in transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the lungs and other parts of the body. 4. Now if someone is G6PD deficient, it just means that there aren’t enough of this enzyme in their body to protect the red blood cells. Hence, their RBCs are easily damaged. It is genetic condition. 5. For such individuals, what they ingest is of great concern as taking some foods, certain drugs (herbal preparations, some antibiotics, some antimalarials, painkillers, etc) can trigger the damage of their Red blood Cells. It can actually be fatal. 6. Some people are G6PD full defect, meaning there’s very little or no functioning enzyme. Others are partial defect meaning, there’s some enzyme activity but not enough to fully protect the red blood cells. 7. This is one of the reasons why I always advise against self-medication. You may be G6PD deficient without knowing it, and then you end up taking a drug that you’re not supposed to. 8. If you’re reading this and you do not know your G6PD status (most of you), kindly go and check. Go to a hospital or any lab to check. 9. And if you’re aware that you’re G6PD deficient, let everyone around you know. Your healthcare provider, kids, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, everyone should know about your status. SING IT LIKE YOUR ANTHEM. 10. Lastly, do not take any medication without informing your healthcare provider, especially your pharmacist. Also, remember to ask questions before you leave the hospital or pharmacy. 11. Share this.

In this video, KODA recalls how he was put on wrong medication for over SIX months and all he got from the medical personnel on realizing it was...“oh sorry oo”... 🤦🏾

@Ronaldcobby2 @GhanaYesu_ @jmettle Sadly, we are blinded so called interest rather than message. What if his interest is for our good. Remember change sometimes from an individual. Peace
