E-drug: Brain-drain of health professionals
---------------------------------------------
We are final year pharmacy students at the University of
Durban-Westville, conducting a preliminary study on "The Perspectives
of the Exodus of Pharmacists in Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN), South Africa".
The aim of our study is to establish reasons for the sudden rapid
emigration of pharmacists to various countries, and to understand the
Push-and-Pull factors that may influence their decisions. We will be
targeting practising pharmacists in KZN as well as those who have
already left the country.
We kindly request the following information that may assist us,
including:-
1. The names of any journals/reports containing information on the
emigration or translocation of health professionals from their
respective countries and/or the impact of this on the economy.
2. Other similar studies that have been conducted in this area.
