The Minister-designate for Finance, Ken Ofoti-Atta, has returned home after receiving medical treatment in the United States (US).
Per a report by Asaaseradio, he arrived at the Kotoka International Airport on Saturday, March 20, 2021, via Delta Air.
It will be recalled that Mr. Ofori-Atta on February 14, was flown to the US for a medical review following some COVID-19 complications.
A statement from the Finance Ministry said the Minister had suffered some complications after recovering from COVID-19 last December.
The statement said he required further interventions which were not available in the country, hence his travel to the US.
He was subsequently admitted to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, USA, where he has been receiving treatment over the last 30 days.
