The vice president’s message marks her second public communication following a period of medical treatment at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) and subsequent recuperation in the United Kingdom.
Her recent health journey had drawn widespread concern and support from citizens, many of whom expressed relief at her gradual return to public engagement.
Last week, the Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, provided assurances regarding the Vice President’s condition, confirming that she was in good health and had been advised by medical professionals to take a short period of rest abroad.

He further stated that her recovery was progressing steadily and that she was expected to resume her official responsibilities in the near future.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, a trailblazing academic and the first woman to serve as vice-chancellor of a public university in Ghana, had been on a two-week medical leave following a sudden illness.
Her absence from the public eye had sparked an outpouring of goodwill from across the political spectrum, reflecting the high regard in which she is held as a unifying national figure.
Her return to public discourse with a message of hope and unity has been met with widespread appreciation on social media, where many have interpreted her words as a testament to her resilience and unwavering dedication to Ghana’s development.
