520 |a Brain drain is a core problem in the developing world, and an especially tragic one in the field of health care. For many African countries, training new doctors and nurses is almost a fruitless enterprise-since, upon completion of their schooling, these young professionals typically leave for high-paying positions abroad. This program analyzes the predicament by following a young, Malawi-born gynecologist as he wrestles with a fateful decision. Should he earn a good living in the West or make a crucial difference in the life of his native country, albeit on a meager salary? His journey of discovery (and self-discovery) incorporates interviews with Malawian medical students, educators, nurses, and fellow doctors. Dr. Mubashar Sheikh of the Global Health Workforce Alliance is also featured.
