Similar Stories to How To Keep Health Care Workers In Conflict Zones on Bing News

About a third of medical and nursing students in developing countries have no intention of working in their homeland, according to a new study. During the Ebola outbreak, one of the greatest challenges to containment has been the limited number of health care workers. There are few local health care workers who are not already working on the outbreak, and Doctors Without Borders and Red Cross have asked the international community to send more personnel for treatment instead of just money. Now, a new study published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization reveals that less than one fifth of health care students intend to work in rural areas when they graduate—which, in the case of the Ebola outbreak in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone—is one of the places they are needed the most. The report surveyed nearly 3,200 first and final year medical students at 16 government medical schools in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Malawi, Nepal and the United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia and discovered that often these students had made up their minds to work in less rural places or outside their countries before they even enrolled.
