Emigration of trained Cameroon health care workers to Canada exacerbates Inequality. Really!

The brain drain from developing to developed countries is not a new phenomenon! It is several decades old if not a century or more.

Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health phrased this as: Health Worker Exodus [???] Exacerbates Inequality [???]. Really! What a foolish, narrow minded opinion!

Not mentioned in this lousy article
  1. Regularly significant remittances and all the benefits that come with it
  2. Does e.g. Cameroon train more medical staff than needed domestically?
  3. When do these emigrants typically return to Cameroon or other countries of Africa?
"... One pipeline: Cameroon to Canada. About a third of last year's medical graduates from Cameroon have already left the country for higher-paying jobs in North America and Europe. ..."
