🔗 International Migration of Doctors, and Its Impact on Availability of Psychiatrists in Low and Middle Income Countries

-

!!!Background

Migration of health professionals from low and middle income countries to rich countries is a large scale and long-standing phenomenon, which is detrimental to the health systems in the donor countries. We sought to explore the extent of psychiatric migration.
