However proper accountability through effective auditing must be put in place to ensure value for Money is achieved in the utilization of the IGFs that would be generated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the Association has warned against partisan influence over the Health Service Bill adding that any move to undermine certain professional groups in the Service when the bill is passed into Law would lead to apathy.<\/p>\n<p>AHSAG has also called on the Ministry of Health to urgently pass the Legislative Instrument (LI) for the Mental Health Act, 2012(Act 846) so that Health Service Administrators know their role in the delivery of mental health services.<\/p>\n<p>The Eastern Regional Director of Ghana Health Service ,Dr. Charity Sarpong, charged the administrators to have comprehensive all year-round procurement management  systems to ensure that health facilities do not run short of logistics.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 63 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Saturday, 2 December 2017 Source: Starrfmonline.com 2017-12-02 ASHAG says political influence in the appointment of administrators affects management in hospitals The Association of Health Services Administrators, Ghana, is calling for an end to the seeming politicisation of their position at Teaching Hospitals in the Country.
