| Africa's Deadly Brain Drain - Malawi |
 |
Nov 2007
Africa is in the grip of a medical crisis
because its doctors are being lured away by
lucrative jobs in Europe. Malawi now only has
one doctor for every 50,000 people.
"We are working under very difficult
conditions. It's like we are in a war",
laments Robert Lapyam Ayella, the only doctor
at Mulanje District Hospital. As he goes from
bed to bed, patients and staff clamour for
his attention. But there are too many people
for him to see and he lacks the proper drugs
and equipment to treat them. "You reach a
point of frustration and just say 'what am I
doing here?'" In some Malawian hospitals,
clinical officers without the proper training
are working as doctors or surgeons. "I
usually work 24 hour shifts in the emergency
department", states clinical officer Stanley
Chimabaui. Malawi's few remaining health
workers also have to battle an AIDS pandemic.
And the problem looks set to get worse. 25%
of the country's health staff are expected to
die of HIV/AIDS in the next decade. Facing
these problems, it's not surprising entire
medical classes decide to emigrate to the
West, where they can earn 300 -- 400 times
more. As one expat Malawian doctor states: "I
earn a good wage in England. Why should I go
back to Malawi to suffer?"
