<BR><BR>A new report by CPRN calls for provincial governments to take a closer
look at the way they hire doctors, nurses and other health professionals from
developing countries. <st2:country-region

deal with shortages in this field, but increasingly these professionals are
coming from developing countries, especially from Africa and <st2:place

problems of their own. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
