    "content": "came out very clearly is that when you look at the health-related SAGAs, you find that they have boards, but the methods of appointing them are questionable. I will suggest and recommend that the criterion of appointing people to health SAGA boards should not be based on being a dumping ground for beneficiaries of political patronage. That is dangerous to health care. We need to really look at whom we are appointing to these boards. They should have people with special skills that can help advance healthcare in this country such as public health specialists and health systems management specialists. We have most of these cadres in this country. However, when we come to appointing members to the boards of some of these health SAGAs, political patronage comes in. It becomes a dumping ground for people who have no business near healthcare at all. That has impacted negatively on the healthcare system in this country."
