Brain drain is the phenomenon of emigration of
highly skilled and qualified professionals from one country to another mostly well-developed country. The outcome is the scarcity of qualified professionals in the native country which then undermines the progress of that
particular country in long run. During this era of economic
growth, the majority of developing countries like Greece,
Iran, Nigeria, India, and Taiwan are the worst victims of
brain drains. Pakistan is also facing this grave issue as the
migration rate of highly skilled professionals augmented
more than 60% from 1992 to 2000 as per UNESCO Report.
Healthcare is no exception to this global phenomenon of
brain drain. Statistics document that 2.7 million Pakistanis
have left Pakistan in the last five years to find better work
opportunities. According to a survey of Gallup-Pakistan,
more than two-thirds of Pakistan’s adult population including doctors have the desire to visit abroad in search of a
better future. The worst scenario of this survey is that more
than half have no desire to return at all. The lacunae created by this avoidable brain drain is obviously a drastic decline in public service, poor health of the nation and, poor
overall progress in the society besides a bad reputation to
the current Government. This perspective is focused on
the insights of brain drain of doctors from Pakistan and
strategies of reverting brain drain into brain gain
