How Africa exports its doctors and heathcare workers. 'Fifteen of the world’s (fiscally) richest countries have over 55,000 African doctors in their health systems, a new data analysis by The Continent shows. These are doctors who qualified before entering those countries. The United Kingdom is the top culprit, followed by the United States, France, Canada, Germany and Ireland, in that order.' #health #BrainDrain #Africa https://continent.substack.com/p/trainee-doctors-are-barely-holding?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1620194&post_id=139038081&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=rwama&utm_medium=email

The topic of immigration ends up getting too heated, but this just shows that by importing highly skilled workers, we deplete other countries of those valuable skilled people, doctors are essential all over the world.
Countries such as those in the G7 at least should be able to train and retain that talent, sure allowing workers international experience is also important.
