| description | The migration of health professionals from low- and middle-income to high-income countries has
received much attention amongst the global health community as an important factor influencing
health care systems. There is however, much less dialogue about internationally trained health
professionals who are not able to practice their professions in their countries of destination, a
phenomenon labelled as “brain waste”. It has been shown that the integration of internationally
trained health professionals in their country of destination is hindered due to inadequate lan-
guage skills, a lack of local work experience, cultural incompetency, and barriers to the recogni-
tion of credentials from foreign academics and professionals. To maximize gains from migration of
health professionals and to minimize the negative impacts, we need policies with proper guide-
lines for practical strategies to better integrate health professional immigrants into the workforce
of destination countries. These policies and action plans should also foster healthcare system ca-
pacity building and appropriate compensation in low- and middle-income countries |
