Asaase News sources close to the office of the Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, have disclosed that she has been flown abroad for urgent treatment after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Following this health challenge, the Vice President was rushed to the University of Ghana Medical Center (UGMC), around 01:00 in the morning, where specialists made frantic efforts to stabilize her. This paved the way for her to be flown out for the needed specialized treatment.
A statement dated Sunday, 30 March 2025, issued and signed by the Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, noted that the Vice President was taken ill after work on Friday, 28 March 2025. The statement further indicated that she has received initial treatment at UGMC, and on the advice of her medical handlers, she will travel out of the jurisdiction for further treatment.
“The Vice President, Her Excellency Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, received treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Center on Saturday due to a sudden illness that occurred after work on Friday, March 28, 2025,” the official statement from the presidency read.
“Based on expert medical opinion, she will be seeking further care abroad. We wish the Vice President a speedy recovery,” Felix Kwakye Ofosu’s press release further read.
Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang (73) is the first female to occupy the high office of Vice President of the Republic of Ghana. She once served as Minister for Education under the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama administration (7 January 2013 to 6 January 2017).
