Sikiratu Sindodo said doctors first suspected malaria or typhoid, but her condition continued to deteriorate as she moved from one hospital to another.
"I was sick like someone who had malaria. Malaria/typhoid, that was it, and that was how it started gradually. From one Hospital to another. I can't remember how long it lasted. I think it lasted for months because I was in a coma and was given a 50/50 chance. My mum was even told to go home," she recalled.
Faith that pulled Sikiratu Sindodo through
Despite the gravity of the experience, actress Sikiratu Sindodo said her recovery came down to prayer and divine intervention.
Visibly emotional during the interview, the screen star struggled to hold back tears as she reflected on the journey.
"God answered a lot of prayers in my life. God has been faithful because I don't want to be emotional," she said.
The actress did not share the specific medical diagnosis behind her illness, but made it clear that surviving it reshaped how she views life and faith.
