South Africa: Wanted - 4,000 doctors
With more South African doctors now working abroad than in the country's ailing public health sector, the government needs to start aggressively recruiting health workers from other countries, according to a non-profit recruitment organisation.
Dr Clarence Mini, of Africa Health Placements, which specialises in placing public-health professionals, told a national tuberculosis conference in the port city of Durban earlier this month that more than 4,000 doctor's posts were currently unfilled in South Africa's state hospitals, while 3,000 South African-qualified doctors are working in the United Kingdom and 2,000 in the United States.
