This book was released on 2006 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the critical challenges facing Africa is how to harness the potential of internal and international migration in the interests of development. The Southern African Migration Project (SAMP) is an international network of organizations founded in 1996 to promote awareness of migration-development linkages in SADC. SAMP conducts applied research on migration and development issues, provides policy advice and expertise, offers training in migration policy and management, and conducts public education campaigns on migration-related issues. The Brain Drain of Health Professionals from Sub-Saharan Africa to Canada, No 2 in the African Migration and Development Series, attempts to answer the question "how" the brain drain can be reduced, acknowledging that it can best be done through concerted efforts from both sides -Sub-Saharan African countries and Canada.
Download or read book Rethinking the Medical Brain Drain Narrative written by Jonathan Crush and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerns about the negative impact of the "brain drain" of health professionals from Africa have led to a dominant narrative in which those who migrate are a permanent, and costly, loss to the country of origin and a permanent, and valuable, gain for the country of destination. In the new world of transnationalism, a global skills market, and greatly increased mobility by health professionals, it is unlikely that the traditional permanent-exodus model of the brain drain narrative adequately captures all forms of migration by South African doctors. This report first examines the temporary employment opportunities for South African doctors in countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and Australia. This report draws two major conclusions: first, the dominant brain drain narrative overlooks the complex nature of South African physician migration and ignores the fact that a significant number of doctors have temporary employment experience outside the country. Second, it suggests that temporary employment overseas increases the chances of permanent emigration later.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "African medical professionals' migration constitutes one of the greatest economic, social and political issues that affect the African continent today. This issue of African medical professionals' migration always creates debate among political leaders, migration specialists, and other specialists regarding economic development in Africa. This study addresses the brain drain of African medical professionals' migration to Western countries. To understand and to address this issue, the push/pull factors (including economic, political, social and administrative) from both the sending African and the receiving Western migrant countries are examnied. Through a secondary data analysis, we are able to analyze data regarding the number of medical professionals who are leaving Africa and the number of those who are staying in the continent. The number of medical schools that train medical professionals is also examined. With a population of more than 900 million people, Africa has only 159 medical schools that are not able to train maximum number of people to face Africa's health needs. Though the numbers of medical professionals who migrate vary from one African country to another, a general desire to get jobs, access to education, housing, and opportunity of promotion are among the common motivations for these medical professionals to migrate. African countries' migration policies or the absence of any policy and the Western receiving countries' migration policies have also demonstrated the importance of the mass exodus from Africa. These two policies create more motivations to migrate from Africa. Through this analysis, this study encounters many obstacles including a great paucity of data from Africa and low publications regarding data including the number of medical students in each African medical school. Lastly, topics for future research are suggested as well as the collection of reliable data from Africa on this issue. The brain drain of African medical professionals continues to impact African health and its development. There are both economic and health considerations which can still operate against Africa's interest for any further economic, social and political development in the near future. Despite the monetary benefit from migration, Africa is still facing many hurdles regarding its healthcare system and its delivery."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: The ?brain drain?, or skills emigration, is a major policy and research issues at national, regional and continental levels in Africa, trends having intensified in the 1980s and 1990s. The prevailing message is that only fundamental economic reform and improved quality of live will stem the search for employment overseas. To date however, the debate has been couched in binary terms: the South loses; the North gains. Brain drain within the South receives much less attention. To redress the balance, this study considers internal migration within the southern African sub-region, particularly in light of South African immigration policies. The report presents the results of a baseline study of potential skills in six SADC countries: Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. It illustrates how the poorest countries ?- Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Swaziland - are the likely losers. South Africa gains regionally, but is losing skilled citizens to the North. The study highlights the contradiction between tight national immigration policies and the wider political pressures for stronger regional integration, arguing thismay yet present the most promising contingency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a result of a research conducted to assess the magnitude and impact of medical brain drain in Zimbabwe's Government Health Institutions since 2006. Zimbabwe like many other African countries loose most of its brains due to mismanagement of human resources at times with the asumption that they will return or will find life difficult wherever they go and will be compelled to return home. Evidence shows that this is not the case, once people relocate they start a new life even if it means doing unprofessional jobs as long as they earn a living. Lives continue to be lost due to inadequate health professionals in hospitals. Zimbabwe continue to be a training ground for other countries. Of late they froze recruitment completely which means most graduate doctors and nurses go on a job hunt beyond our boarders. It calls for concerted efforts to curb further loss of medical professionals which continue to hit hard on ordinary people when they go to seek health care services in hospitals that are operating below scale.

Book excerpt: 02.dovlo.p65 2 27/12/2004, 18:53 Dovlo: The Brain Drain in Africa 3 Central to this difficult scenario is the health professional, who is a critical part of the health system and perhaps the most essential of the resources needed for a fruitful health sector. [...] It was suggested at the World Health Organization/World Bank (2002) conference on 'Building Strategic Partnerships in Education and Health in Africa' that a dis- connect existed between health reforms and policy formulation on one hand and the education of the health workforce on the other, which may well influence matching the professional to the community's needs. [...] They also suggest this definition for medical education: 'It is the art and science of (1) preparing future medical graduates to function properly in society and (2) influencing the environment in which these graduates will work, to the greatest satisfaction of the health consumers, the health authorities and the graduates themselves'. [...] Whilst data on the impact of the loss of health professionals are lacking, some reports from a recent meeting in South Africa sponsored by the Com- monwealth Secretariat (2003) described some of those effects: a decline in quality of care caused by increased workloads and the loss of support and supervision of experienced professionals. [...] Changing educational methods and curricula to reflect better relevance to conditions in Africa also requires intensive consultation, consensus building and the re-orientation of educators, many of whom may have difficulty relating to the realities of the economic and health problems of Africa because of their own training in the developed countries.

Noting that "competing for talent" is recognised as an essential element of international competitiveness in the current world economy, Medical Recruiting: The Case of South African Health Care Professionals, SAMP policy paper no. 45, says a central role is played by private and public sector recruitment agencies in shaping the international mobility of talented or skilled individuals. There has recently been an important and welcome policy shift away from the early reactive ad hoc policy responses to the development of a more comprehensive strategic response that seeks to manage the mobility of health professionals.
