The surge in migration of healthcare workers threatens the quality of care and jeopardises health outcomes for the people of CARICOM.
This was the warning issued by Dr. Andy St. Hilaire, Officer in Charge, Office of the Chief Medical Officer, Dominica and Chair of the Meeting of Officials Preparatory to the Forty-Seventh Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) held on 11 September.
A release yesterday from the CARICOM Secretariat said that the Policy Brief on the Migration of Healthcare Workers in the Caribbean, a crucial document for consideration by health sector development stakeholders, was presented at the meeting.
