Vice President Commences Three-Week Medical Leave

Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the Vice President of the Republic, has started a three-week medical leave, effective from Monday, April 7. Sources at the Jubilee House informed Joy News that the Vice President’s break is based on medical advice from her doctor.

This decision follows reports about her recent health issues, which led her to seek treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre in Accra. After her initial visit to the local facility, she subsequently traveled abroad to pursue further medical care. The specific details of her condition have not been disclosed, but the medical leave follows the advice given by her healthcare providers.

The announcement of her medical break comes at a time when there is increased public interest in the health and well-being of prominent political figures. While the Vice President’s absence is expected to be temporary, the three-week break allows her the time needed to rest and recover fully.

During her leave, it is anticipated that the duties and responsibilities of her office will be managed by the necessary interim arrangements. However, no further details have been provided on how her absence will be managed in terms of the day-to-day functions of government.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s medical leave comes as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing health and well-being, especially for those in positions of leadership. The public will likely continue to monitor updates on her recovery as the Vice President focuses on regaining her health over the coming weeks.
