Abstract
This note outlines the challenges of
retaining and attracting high-skilled professionals, briefly
assesses both the 'brain gain' and the 'brain
drain' in the health sector, and examines some of the
existing programs that encourage return. It provides an
overview of the role of the diaspora in fostering the
transfer of knowledge, technology, capital, and remittances.
