Description:
The Canadian health care system is one of the places where push comes to pull in terms of attracting health care professionals from sub-Saharan Africa. The authors call this the perverse subsidy: the costs of training these professionals are paid for by poorer people in poorer countries. The pull to Canada is equally a push from Africa. Reflections on a pilot study on a labour mobility issue that is equally a question of conscience. [from author]
