The former Minister of Social Action, Family and Women's Promotion was admitted to the Sunflower Clinic in January 2019 after an alleged suicide attempt. The minister had been exonerated from her position by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, days before.
After being rescued at the clinic in Luanda - where she was admitted to the intensive care unit - Victória da Conceição was taken to Johannesburg, South Africa, to continue receiving treatment. A year later, she is back in the country to thank the medical team, writes the Correio de Kianda.
At the same time, MPLA vice-president Luísa Damião was on a courtesy visit to the former minister's residence. The information was released by Tomás Bica Mumbundo, administrator of Sambizanga.
After being exonerated, without any warning, Victória da Conceição tried to commit suicide, having used a firearm. At the time, the former Minister of Social Action was reported dead by several media outlets due to a lack of information on her state of health.
