The Vice President Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has returned to the country from the United Kingdom where she has been receiving intensive medical treatment after a short illness.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s health became a public concern after she reportedly fell ill on Friday, March 28, 2025. She was admitted to the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) the following day for medical attention.
In a statement issued by the Office of the President on Sunday, March 30, it was confirmed that the Vice President had received the necessary treatment and will seek further treatment abroad.
Her arrival signifies recovery and an end to her medical leave. She is expected to commence official work shortly.
Also at the airport were the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church and family members of the Vice President.
In her brief remarks, the Vice President thanked Ghanaians for their prayers, sent her appreciation to her doctors and the medic staff at the UGMC, and celebrated President Mahama and his younger brother, Ibrahim, for their support, thoughtfulness and care.
President John Dramani Mahama at his Thank You Tour in Dodowa last Friday May 16 shared that the Vice President has recovered fully. The President also expressed relief.
“I’m happy to state that I spoke to her yesterday morning, and she will be back in the country before the end of next week. By God’s grace, she is fully recovered and she’s going to come and go back to her duties,” he announced.
The Vice-President’s health drew public speculations about her passing but government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu debunked the claim and affirmed that the Vice President was in good health.
