The Onua Showtime host made a return to the show on Sunday, August 24, 2025, following a short medical hiatus.
She left the show to undergo her fifth round of hand surgery stemming from severe injuries she suffered in a January 2013 accident.
McBrown made a triumphant return to the show as part of the celebrations surrounding her 47th birthday.
Nana Ama McBrown opens up on surgeries
Following her return to Onua Showtime, Nana Ama McBrown said the reason for her departure in June was to enable her to undergo surgery on her hand.
She pleaded with Ghanaians to have patience while she heals and to pray for her to recover quickly.
“I thank Ghanaians. Please thank God for me when you go on your knees and pray. I am doing well as I sit here. I am not ill. I have had hand surgery, so I have been given time off,” she said.
Nana Ama McBrown added that she was not returning yet to her show because she still needed to take some time to get back to her best.
“You will be able to move a little about for a while… however, you will need to wait for a while before returning to your normal routine. That is why I decided to come and visit you. I haven’t returned to work. I am still on holiday,” she added.

Producer weeps about McBrown’s life-saving help
Veteran Ghanaian producer, Fred Kyei Mensah, praised Nana Ama McBrown on her return.
He hailed her impact on the lives of many and recalled that she once saved his life by helping him when he was at his lowest.
Kyei Mensah said he lost everything he owned during COVID and was starving with no money to his name until Nana Ama McBrown heeded his cry for help.
“During COVID, a flood destroyed all my properties. I had nothing; I was literally starving and had no money. I was crying. I went through my contacts on my phone and sent McBrown a message that if she does not help me today, I’ll die,” he said.
Kyei Mensah broke down in tears at that point as he recalled how Nana Ama McBrown came to his aid.
“In response to my text, she sent me GH₵ 2,000. If not for that money, I would not be here today. Later, I met her at an event in East Legon. She told me that she has something else planned for me. I was later called to be a panellist on Onua Showtime, and I have been doing that job till now. The impact that you have made in people’s lives, you have no idea.”
