Following the announcement that the Vice President, Prof. , is set to be flown abroad for medical treatment, a viral video of former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Prof.

Agyeman , has resurfaced online.

In the video, he strongly opposes political appointees seeking medical care abroad.

Over the years, it has become common for politicians, including the President and senior government appointees, to seek medical treatment overseas, usually in Europe, whenever they are unwell.
