Health care is becoming a seriously harmed issue in poorer countries. According to a report by the World Health Organization, many health care workers form developing countries are migrating to rich countries than poorer countries. Because many doctors and nurses have left it is becoming very difficult to provide even the basic health care.

The report is called Human Resources for Health.In Philippines, over 15,000 nurses walk to abroad every year, but very few come back. After taking special courses doctors in the Philippines also get jobs as nurses. So many nurses from South Africa have gone to work in the UK and other developed countries, that there are now serious problems providing health care for its people.

There is a ‘serious shortage' of health care workers in 57 countries around the world - more than three quarters of them are in Africa.

The main reason health care professionals leave developing countries to work in rich countries could be money and prospects. Some also go abroad to get experience - bit this reason is way down when compared to money. The National Health Service (UK) has a large number of health professionals from abroad. Some countries are beginning to point their fingers at the UK for ‘poaching' their HCPs (Health Care Professionals). Most of the migration goes to North America, Western Europe, Australasia and Japan.
