Sickness can come to all people, including important people as you can read in II kings 5:1

Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man  in the sight of his master and highly regarded because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.

Naaman is facing a problem  he had no solution for even though he is the commander of the Army of Aram. 

P.S, Please note that this true story we can read about in the part of the Bible called the Old Testament,      II Kings chapter 5, is about people who lived in the ninth Century BC so a long time ago.
