Title Shortage of healthcare workers in developing countries - Africa
Author Saraladevi Naicker, FRCP, PhD; Jacob Plange-Rhule, FWACP, PhD; Roger C. Tutt, BA; John B. Eastwood, MD, FRCP
Description

The already inadequate health systems of Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, have been badly damaged by the migration of their health professionals. 

It may well be asked why special measures should be necessary to influence the migration of health professionals rather than engineers or football players or any other category. The answer must surely be that no other category of worker is so essential to the well-being of the population of every nation.
