Poaching workers

The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

Sir, – Am I the only one who finds it ethically troubling to see us and the rest of Europe plundering developing countries of their health workers to prop up our own systems? At the very least, we should sponsor at least one worker in the “donor” country for each one we take so that we give something back in a meaningful way. – Yours, etc,

JOHN K ROGERS,
