Brain drain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
In this issue, three papers discuss the issue of the brain drain: of psychiatrists from Egypt and Nigeria, and of nurses from East Africa. They explore the complexities of professional migration and its impact on the health of populations in source and recipient countries; they also review how recommendations for changes in policy and practice might influence the so-called ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors that aggravate the brain drain.
