Ken Ofori-Atta, Ghana’s former Finance Minister, is undergoing surgery in the United States following a diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Mr Ofori-Atta has been receiving treatment and undergoing monitoring in the U.S. for several weeks ahead of the operation, sources close to the family said.
He has also been managing a post-COVID Multi-System Inflammatory Response Syndrome, initially diagnosed in February 2021 — a condition that has required ongoing medical oversight.
Family members are understood to be at his side in Minnesota and are expected to remain with him throughout his recovery.
Mr Ofori-Atta served as Ghana’s Finance Minister from 2017 to 2023, playing a key role in the country’s economic management during a turbulent period that included the COVID-19 pandemic and negotiations with the International Monetary Fund.
