Paradox of wealth transfer from poor to rich nations through manpower
---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Conservative estimates by Wilma Meeus and David Sanders at the Uni-
versity of the Western Cape's School of Public Health show that the 
United States has saved at least U$ 3,86-million (ZAR 30,9 million) 
in training fees by employing doctors from Nigeria which has lost 
21,000 doctors to the superpower. Nigeria in turn incurred a loss of 
U$ 420 million (ZAR 3,4 million)."
