President John Dramani Mahama has reassured Ghanaians of the improving health of Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, confirming that she is recovering well and remains in high spirits.
Speaking at the launch of the government’s nationwide sanitary pad distribution initiative, President Mahama acknowledged the Vice President’s absence and shared an update on her condition.
“I wish to extend the greetings of Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to all of you. I spoke to her yesterday and I told her we were going to miss her at this event because this is a programme that is very dear to her”.
He added, “She said I should say hello to all of you and to say she is recuperating and catching a bit of rest. She is very well and soon she will join us to continue to prosecute the reset agenda.”
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s health became a public concern after she reportedly fell ill on Friday, March 28, 2025, and was admitted to the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) the following day.
In a statement issued on March 30, the Office of the President confirmed that the Vice President had received the necessary treatment and was in stable condition.
Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, noted that doctors had recommended further medical evaluation abroad as a precaution.
Following this advice, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang began a three-week medical leave on April 7, 2025, focusing on her recovery and overall well-being.
