Global North countries continue to treat health systems in the Global South as a pool for recruiting workers. At the same time, they neglect the workers who are already employed in hospital wards and health centers. This short-sighted approach is harmful for the Global South, where the health workers’ shortage is particularly pronounced. It is also perpetuating a vicious cycle of unmanageable workload and career dropout among nurses and other health workers.
