I agree with you. I have been to many of these lounges, They provide quite a lot of services for business travelers, including office equipment, nice quiet areas to work away from the terminals, usually good wifi, all of these important for people running large organizations. She is leading a government agency with over 12,000 employees, with a budget probably in the many billions, and they don't want to give her lounge access? It is a very reasonable cost for someone who travels often. The bigger question is why they chose a person with such a poor understanding of personal health to run the health ministry.
