Ethical concerns in nurse migration
International nurse migration is natural and to be expected. Recently, however, those who have fostered nurse migration believe that it will solve nursing shortages in developed countries and offer nurse migrants better working conditions and an improved quality of life. Whether natural or manipulated, migration flow patterns largely occur from developing to developed countries. In this article, nurse migration is examined using primary health care (PHC) as an ethical framework. The unmanaged flow of nurse migrants from developing to developed countries is inconsistent with bhealth for allQ principles. Removing key health personnel from countries experiencing resource shortages is contrary to PHC equity. Often, nurse migrants are placed in vulnerable, inequitable work roles, and employing nurse migrants fails to address basic causes of nurse shortages in developed countries, such as dissatisfaction with work conditions and decreased funding for academic settings.
Nurse migration policies and procedures can be developed to satisfy PHC ethics criteria if they:
- leave developing countries enhanced rather than depleted
- contribute to country health outcomes consistent with essential care for all people
- are based on community participation
- address common nursing labor issues
- involve equitable and clear financial arrangements.

Medical Missions to Peru
The Medical Missions to Peru are a join effort of Solidaridad en Marcha (SEM) with a large group of volunteers from North America and Latin America. In some trips, we join efforts with the Canadian organization Solidarity Experiences Abroad, Inc. Our missions seek to help people in material and spiritual need, according to their dignity and human rights.
Volunteers are the basic unit of all our medical mission trips. You can help as a health care professional (doctor, nurse or pharmacist) or you can volunteer in other ways to support the mission, such as collecting donations, packing medicines, calling people, traveling with us to help in the field, etc.
