Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications and spokesperson for President John Dramani Mahama, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has assured the public that the Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, is in good health in the United Kingdom and is expected to resume her duties shortly.
Speaking in an interview on Onua TV on April 8, 2025, Felix stated that the vice president has been advised to rest by her medical practitioners.
“She is currently in good health and taking a short rest as advised by her doctors, and in short order, she should be back to her duties.
“…she is in the United Kingdom as I speak,” 3news.com quoted him to have said.
Meanwhile, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has taken a three-week medical leave of absence beginning April 7, 2025, per her doctor’s advice, in order to concentrate on her recuperation, according to a report by citinewsroom.com.
This move was said to have been confirmed by Jubilee House sources.
After receiving initial care at the University of Ghana Medical Centre in Accra, the Vice President had to seek treatment overseas due to current health issues, which necessitated her leave.
Speaking at a community engagement in Lagos, Nigeria, on April 6, foreign affairs minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa reassured Ghanaians that Prof Opoku-Agyemang is quickly returning to her duties and is recuperating well.
He credited her advancement to the prayers and support of Ghanaians and people, both domestically and internationally.
Ablakwa dismissed what he described as “vicious and unGhanaian propaganda,” while addressing rumors about the vice president’s health, urging the public to focus on her resilience and achievements.
He emphasized her capacity to shatter stereotypes and act as a role model, highlighting her role as an inspiration to young girls and women.
