Description:

International migration of health workers is a controversial issue globally. It has both negative and positive impact on both source and destination countries. The shortfall of health workers in the developed countries has led to the accusation of poaching health workers from the developing countries where health care systems are struggling. The causes and consequences of health workers’ migration vary in different countries. This study explored the reasons why a group of Nepalese health workers migrated to the United Kingdom (UK).[from abstract]
