Doc's : Problem of plenty
There has been a recent news of hundreds of junior british doctors have applied for jobs in India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. There has been a shortage of jobs in National Health Services, UK which before used to be a lucrative destination for doctors.
The National Health Service had recently advertised for 22,000 junior doctors’ posts for which it received over 30,000 applications. Even if 22,000 vacancies are filled, there will be about 8,000 unemployed doctors. Thousands of British doctors face the prospect of emigrating to various countries due to uncertainties caused by procedural flaws in the recruitment system called Modernising Medical Careers (MMC), an online application system. Following criticism from experts in the field, the British Government has ordered a review of the system.
Many Indian private hospitals have been advertising for British doctors as India is currently experiencing a boom in medical tourism. There is ever growing population of doctors in India, with more coming in there comes the problem of plenty.
Is there anyplace in the world where doctors are in short service?
