Description:

This is an exploratory descriptive study that examined migration of locally trained doctors from Ghana using graduates of the country’s first medical school as a proxy. The objectives of the study were to describe trends in the loss of medical personnel to emigration and the influence this has on human resources planning, including forecasting of staff supply and requirements. It was also to provide some information towards the development of strategies to counteract such losses. [from abstract]
