[afro-nets] WHO: 10 Facts on Health Workforce Crisis (3)

["George Kent" <kent@hawaii.edu>]

There is a recommendation here for a" rapid health workforce scale- up," but no discussion of what would prevent or slow the steady migration of health workers from poorer countries to richer countries. In the absence of a serious plan to address the issue, the scale-up could simply increase the rate at which the south supplies the north with health workers.

Aloha, George
