The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and the Acting CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority, Professor Ransford Gyampo, have been exposed for their past criticism of government officials seeking medical treatment abroad. Their 2021 stance has resurfaced following the news that Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang is set to receive further medical care outside Ghana after falling ill on Friday, March 28, 2025.

The Vice President was admitted to the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) on Saturday after feeling unwell. Medical experts at UGMC provided initial treatment but later recommended that she travel abroad for specialized care. This decision has sparked renewed debate, as many recall Ablakwa and Gyampo’s strong opposition to such actions in the past.
In May 2021, Ablakwa and Gyampo heavily criticized government officials who sought medical attention outside Ghana. They argued that such practices showed a lack of confidence in the country’s healthcare system and called for government leaders to receive treatment locally instead. Their remarks were aimed at ensuring that Ghana’s medical facilities were improved to meet international standards.
However, with Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang now set to travel abroad for medical care, many are questioning whether Ablakwa and Gyampo still hold the same views. Critics argue that their past statements contradict their party’s current actions, exposing them to allegations of hypocrisy.

Supporters of the Vice President maintain that her situation is unique since medical professionals recommended that she seek further treatment outside the country. They also argue that her health should not be politicized, as even leaders from developed nations sometimes seek medical attention abroad when necessary.
This situation has reignited discussions on Ghana’s healthcare system, with many calling for greater investment in medical facilities to reduce the need for foreign treatment. The government has yet to comment on the controversy, but the issue remains a hot topic among Ghanaians.
