However, after administering the initial treatment, experts from the University of Ghana Medical Centre advised her to seek further treatment abroad.

According to Okudzeto, the Veep is in good health and will soon resume her duties.
Addressing Ghanaians living in Nigeria, Ablakwa emphasised that prayers from Ghanaians both at home and abroad have contributed to her recovery.
“Some fears about the state of our mother, the first female vice president of the Republic of Ghana. I also want to assure that she is doing very, very well. Your prayers worked, your prayers from all of us, Ghanaians at home and abroad, have really worked.
“I have heard from her, so I know what I am talking about, and she’s doing well,” he stated.
Ablakwa urged the public to disregard what he described as “vicious and unGhanaian evil propaganda” being circulated about Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s health.
He expressed confidence in her ability to inspire young girls and women across the nation.
“Please ignore all of that very vicious and unGhanaian evil propaganda that some people are speculating. Our mother is doing very, very well, and very soon she is going to return to her duties, serving Ghana, making all of you proud and particularly inspiring our young girls, our daughters, to know that there is nothing our women cannot achieve that women are as good as men and that what men can do, women can also do and do it better,” Ablakwa added.
