Health Workforce Migration

Health workforce migration refers to healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses, moving from one country or region to another to work. This movement often occurs because of better job opportunities, higher salaries, improved working conditions, or political stability. While it can help fill shortages where needed, it can also lead to challenges for the countries losing their healthcare workers, impacting the quality and accessibility of health services locally. Managing this migration involves balancing the needs of both source and destination countries to ensure healthcare systems remain effective worldwide.
