Opoku-Agyemang's health became a matter of public concern following an official statement issued by the Presidency on March 30, 2025. The statement, signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Spokesperson to the President and Minister of Government Communications, disclosed that the Vice President had received treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) after falling ill following work commitments on Friday, March 28, 2025. The medical assessment at UGMC indicated the need for further care abroad, resulting in a three-week medical leave.
President Mahama's social media update conveyed that the Vice President is now resting and recuperating, with expectations that she will soon return to her official duties. This period of recovery is closely watched, given Opoku-Agyemang's pivotal role as Ghana's first female Vice President, a position she assumed on January 7, 2025. Her career, marked by significant contributions to education and public service, includes a tenure as Minister for Education from 2013 to 2017 and a historic appointment as the first female Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast.
As Ghana celebrated Mother's Day, President Mahama extended his greetings to Opoku-Agyemang and all mothers in the nation, acknowledging the dedication and resilience exemplified by the Vice President in both her personal and professional life. The nation now awaits her return, hopeful for her swift and complete recovery.
