WHY BRAIN DRAIN A MAJOR PROBLEM IN TANZANIA?

Indeed, in any country of Africa like Tanzania, human capital is much more valuable than financial capital because it is only a nation’s human capital that can be converted into real wealth.  Under the status quo, United Republic of Tanzania would still remain poor even if donors and good Samaritans would send all the money available from different sources there, without improving the internal operation system.  It is true that when money is given to doctor or physician the money or assistance helps to convert it into health or rather wealth.  Money cannot teach our children, but teachers can.  Money cannot bring electricity to our homes, but engineers can.  Money cannot cure sick people, doctors can. From this analysis money goes hand in hand with personnel development. The crisis of personnel is the crisis of lack of implementation in government policies.

In this regard when the medical doctors immigrate to the United States, or other developed countries the poor people from poor countries like Tanzania are forced to seek medical treatment from traditional healers while the elite fly to London or New York for their routine medical checkups.

Given the unwillingness or inability of URT leaders to practice good governance, young people who possess the talent and qualities to become visionary, dedicated, and competent employees such as doctors hardly ever get a fair chance to compete for and attain top professional position. Therefore improving quality of health care and maintaining the personnel crisis requires measuring accurately by looking the link between government health policy and retention policies which will provide better job opportunities and find a better work life balance that will help to stop the developed world a system of poaching the best and brightest personnel from the developing world. As I have measured along the discussion this trading of brain drain is a prejudice, and it limits third world countries their chances to develop quickly when we believe that human capital is considered to be a central importance part of development
