• President John Mahama has updated Ghanaians on Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang's health
• The Vice President was first hospitalised at the University of Ghana Medical Centre in Legon on March 29
• Social media users who saw President John Mahama's post thronged the comment section to wish the Vice President well

President John Dramani Mahama shared an encouraging update on the health status of the Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, after her health scare.

Ghana’s Head shared the development when he wished his Vice President and other Ghanaian women a Happy Mother’s Day.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, May 11, President John Mahama said he visited Prof Opoku-Agyemang in London, where she is resting after recovering from illness.

“A special Mother’s Day greeting to my Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, whom I had the pleasure of visiting earlier this morning.”

The President then indicated that Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang will soon resume her duties as the Vice President of the nation.

“She is taking a deserved rest after recovering from illness and looking forward to resuming her duties soon. To her and all Ghanaian mothers, I say Happy Mother’s Day,” he added.

Prof Opoku-Agyemang went on a three-week medical leave from April 7, 2025, following doctor's orders. Ghana's first woman vice president was hospitalised at the University of Ghana Medical Centre on March 29 after suddenly falling ill.

Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, while addressing a gathering last month, assured a section of the Ghanaian community in Nigeria that Opoku-Agyemang was doing well.

The MP for North Tongu said he had been in contact with the Vice President, hence urging all well-meaning Ghanaians to disregard all propaganda surrounding the health of Prof. Opoku-Agyemang.

"I want to assure you that she is doing very, very well. Your prayers have worked. I have heard from her, and she is doing well. Please ignore all that very vicious and un-Ghanaian evil propaganda that some people are speculating. Our mother is very soon going to return to her duties, serving Ghana and making all of you proud."
