Efforts under way to stem 'brain drain' of doctors and nurses
Available online at: http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/83/2/en/news.pdf 
  February - 2005 - Geneva, This month's WHO Bulletin looks at the migration of skilled professionals to industrialized countries 
as one of the factors behind the chronic shortage of health workers in many developing countries. 

"..International recognition that the growing shortage of health workers poses a major threat to fighting diseases such as HIV/AIDS and 
tuberculosis has prompted a flurry of measures to stem the exodus of health professionals from developing countries.

This year's World Health Assembly in May is expected to discuss how to limit the adverse effects of the migration and to promote fairer
recruitment tactics by developed countries as a follow-up to a resolution passed in 2004.."
