In March this year, the W-H-O identified 55 countries as facing the 鈥渕ost pressing health workforce challenges鈥�.
Basically, nations where there are less than 49 doctors, nurses and midwives per 10,000 people 鈥� the global average.
Forty-one of them are in Africa. In response, some of the main destinations for emigrating heath workers 鈥� like the UK鈥檚 National Health Service 鈥� said they had stopped active recruitments from those countries. But that hasn鈥檛 quite reined in the exodus from the so-called Red List countries. Many are being approached by recruiters to work abroad in care homes. For some, it鈥檚 a path that has exposed them to abuse. Africa Daily hears from concerned players in the sector.
