Health-care workers must be given a fairer deal (2)
---------------------------------------------------

.....but this call says nothing about compensation - I wonder
how Southern countries whose resources (human and financial)
have been depleted by the North are going to fund and sustain
these interventions? And I wonder if and when we make these in-
terventions, especially through strengthened training and educa-
tion, whose needs we will be meeting - how many of these workers
will be recruited to rich countries with already relatively high
densities of HRH and how we will replace them without compensa-
tion for the investments we made?

Following on Antoinette's comments, you may have heard that the
US is pushing through a bill that will make it easier for nurses
to migrate to America. I am wondering, even as we agitate for
better salaries/compensation etc. for health workers, to some it
is still business as usual.
