Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the vice president, 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.
