She appealed to President Akufo-Addo to give more appointments to women.

Madam Eyiah was speaking before the Appointments Committee.

Chairman of the Appointments Committee and First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joe Osei Wusu however disagreed with her proposition. According to him, women must compete for every position.

Deputy Minister Designate for Health on composition of the board of directors for teaching hospitals

Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Designate for Health, Alex Kom Abban, has called for a review of the law regarding the composition of the board of directors for teaching hospitals.

He said it is against good governance practices for all sectional heads to be made board members.

According to him, that arrangement is one of the reasons for the frequent upheavals at the teaching hospitals.

Mr. Abban also spoke on ways to motivate health workers to accept postings to rural areas and how to motivate them to stay there for a longer time.
