Abstract

Migration of health workers for better opportunities either within the country or abroad creates global concern because of the burden of health systems in developing countries. Migration of health workers caused serious global health problem, which is reflected in all aspects of society - structural, political, social and economic. Migration trends of health workers have been studied since 1960. Nevertheless, there is still an imbalance between rich and poor countries. In many cases, the country loses not only an investment in the education of health professionals, but also benefit the workers in health care. Many health systems in developing countries for years suffered from underinvestment, which also translates to low salaries of health workers and poor working conditions. Employers in the recipient countries have in turn lack of experienced people in specific areas and employment opportunities may obtain brains from other countries.
