What conditions are African nurses facing abroad?
In March this year, the W-H-O identified 55 countries as facing the \u201cmost pressing health workforce challenges\u201d.\nBasically, nations where there are less than 49 doctors, nurses and midwives per 10,000 people \u2013 the global average.\nForty-one of them are in Africa. In response, some of the main destinations for emigrating heath workers \u2013 like the UK\u2019s National Health Service \u2013 said they had stopped active recruitments from those countries. But that hasn\u2019t quite reined in the exodus from the so-called Red List countries. Many are being approached by recruiters to work abroad in care homes. For some, it\u2019s a path that has exposed them to abuse. Africa Daily hears from concerned players in the sector. \nPresenter: Alan Kasujja @kasujja
