A. Potential Problems:
1. Poor Communication:
Difficulty in communicating effectively in international forums could hinder the ministry's ability to engage with global health issues.
2. Lack of Collaboration:
Limited language skills might restrict partnerships with international organizations and other countries, reducing access to resources and support.
3. Loss of Direction:
Inability to understand and implement international health policies could affect the ministry's strategic direction.
4. Diminished Public Confidence: Citizens may lose trust in health leadership if they perceive a lack of competence in handling global health matters.
5. Implementation Challenges: Misunderstandings of international guidelines could lead to ineffective health programs and policies.
B. Regarding Resignation or Reassignment:
i. Resignation:
If her language skills significantly hinder her performance, resignation could be a responsible choice for the benefit of the ministry.
ii. Reassignment:
Alternatively, she could be reassigned to a role that better suits her skills, allowing her to contribute effectively without the pressure of international representation.
