The World Health Organisation has revealed that Ghana is among 55 countries losing its health workers due to international migration.

This was contained in the WHO health workforce support and safeguards list 2023 which also identified 36 African countries including Nigeria as vulnerable to the availability of health workers required to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goal target for universal health coverage (UHC) by 2030.

The organization attributed this development to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on these countries it describes as hardly hit by the pandemic.
