Citizen TV presenter Jamila Mohamed has revealed that she has quietly endured a prolonged health struggle over the past four years, undergoing multiple surgeries and hospital admissions away from the public eye.
In a deeply personal message shared on Instagram, the respected journalist disclosed that she has been battling a medical condition that required her to be admitted to hospital eight times for surgical procedures.
Jamila did not specify the nature of the illness, but her message offered a rare glimpse into the challenges she has faced while continuing her career in the spotlight.
Reflecting on the long journey, Jamila expressed both exhaustion and hope, noting that her most recent procedure may finally mark the end of the ordeal. She described becoming so familiar with the hospital environment that she knew the names of theatre nurses, a detail that underscored the extent of her repeated hospital stays.
Despite the physical and emotional toll, the presenter’s message was filled with gratitude rather than despair. She thanked the doctors and nurses who stood by her throughout the years and praised her employers, colleagues, friends, and family for their unwavering support.
In the post, Jamila also struck a light-hearted note, joking that she hopes her next visit to hospital will simply be to exchange greetings “salamu tu”rather than for treatment.
The veteran broadcaster closed her message with repeated expressions of gratitude, thanking God for strength, kindness, and the support system that carried her through the most difficult moments of her recovery.
"For the past four years, I have been bettling a condition for which I have been admitted eight times for surgeries. (I knew the names of the theatre nurses! The last procedure (hopefully) has been done. I am grateful to the doctors and nurses who have stood by me all through. I promise the next time I pass by hospitalini will be for salamu tu! Alhamdullilah for everyuthing. Alhamdullilah for amazing bosses and colleagues, Alhamdullilah for kind friends and Alhamdullilah for a beautiful supportive family." She wrote
Jamila has since deleted her post.
