In a gesture of solidarity, the Women Caucus of Parliament paid a courtesy call on Vice President Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang at Jubilee House on Friday, offering support and encouragement following her return from an extended medical leave.

The delegation, comprising female MPs from both the majority and minority sides, gathered at the Vice President’s office to extend their commiserations and goodwill. Their presence was a show of support for Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, who had been away since early April due to health concerns that led to treatment both at home and in the UK.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang returned to Ghana on May 22, 2025, following successful treatment abroad and an official announcement from Jubilee House confirming her full recovery. Since then, she has resumed her duties, including accompanying President Mahama to key state functions.

Known for breaking barriers as Ghana’s first female Vice President and a renowned academic and former Education Minister, she assumed office on January 7, 2025 .

Unity, support & female leadership
