As mentioned above, the main reason for healthcare worker migration is salary. The government must ensure that it devotes a large part of its health budget to the salaries of health professionals. In order to benefit from the money spent on training these medical graduates, the government should force these graduates to work in their home countries for a specific period of time. This program has been successfully implemented in South Africa (called the Community Service Program). Additionally, a study by the University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) found that many professionals with positive community service experience preferred to stay in South Africa rather than migrate abroad. . Developed countries cannot rely on the supply of foreign health professionals as a permanent solution (to the problem of shortage of health professionals). These countries must take steps to combat this problem by increasing the number of trained health professionals. Measures must also be taken by the government to gradually reduce the immigration of foreign health professionals.
