Shot in the arm for one health system is leathel injection for another

Interesting piece in today's NYT on the flow of doctors and nurses from Africa into the health systems of welathy nations. Yes, this has been going on for years and is nothing new. But what *is* noteworthy is that the Lancet published an article by international health experts calling the efforts to lure the doctors and nurses into western health systems "a crime."

Read the story on the NYT here, and the Lancet story here (registration required).
