Care drain threatens needy countries

 

(swissinfo, 17/01/12) Switzerland is facing a dearth of health workers, but

have left for better opportunities.

To combat this problem, a coalition of Swiss health and humanitarian
organisations has written a manifesto that addresses the worldwide need for
properly trained healthcare professionals.
