[Title] => Leaders for Health Program: Transforming rural folk into health leaders
[Summary] =>
When a physicians’ board first-placer announced not too long ago that he’d rather work as a nurse so he could easily land a job abroad, he was, in effect, dramatizing a serious problem long pestering the nation’s healthcare system – the steady migration of Filipino health workers to better-paying jobs overseas.
The problem persists. A recent study by the Health Futures Foundation says that 61 of 79 provinces surveyed have reported shortages of doctors since 2004. The large out-migration of health workers from rural to urban areas is another problem.
