SUMMARY:Brain Drain: Addressing Health Workforce Migration from Sub-Saharan Africa to the UK
DESCRIPTION:On 14 September 2023\, the African Health Observatory – Platform on Health Systems and Policies (AHOP) and the London School of Economics (LSE) hosted an event on health workforce migration from sub-Saharan Africa to the UK. \nEvent Overview\nIn the aftermath of BREXIT and the COVID-19 pandemic\, the NHS is experiencing severe backlogs and staff burnout amidst increasing care burdens as it copes with the UK’s ageing population. Recruitment of staff from other countries has been instrumental in meeting personnel shortages\, particularly in the care sector. \nAfrica has just 4% of the global health workforce to a population of over 1 billion. Yet\, many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing health worker emigration at staggering rates with the UK as a top destination country. A total of 39 African countries now sit on the WHO health workforce support and safeguards list to discourage international recruitment from these states. \nSome view health worker migration as opportunities on both sides. As well as building the NHS workforce\, African practitioners could earn higher salaries which is remitted to their home countries while being exposed to further training opportunities. On the other hand\, this could be viewed as a new dimension of colonialism as the migration poses a serious risk to further workforce shortages in already strained African health systems. \nJoin AHOP and LSE to discuss solutions to the issue of brain drain on 14 September 2023.

SUMMARY:Just a test2
DESCRIPTION:AHO Platform on Health Systems & Policies was launched with a webinar on 23 November 2020. The webinar event featured presentations and discussion on knowledge production in the African Region and its impact on policy-making. The focus on evidence-informed approaches is timely as the COVID-19 pandemic has been marred with misinformation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobust research and the generation of high-quality knowledge products is key to decision-making\, in and out of times of crisis\, and ultimately better health outcomes. WHO AFRO – the technical Secretariat and host of the Platform – engaged on the theme of service delivery systems re-engineering and resilient health systems alongside the rest of AHOP’s consortium of specialized partners: LSE\, the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies\, BMGF\, and the five original National Centres.
