09 / 17 Global Health, Justice and the Brain Drain Start: 09:00 description: A one-day interdisciplinary conference on international health worker migration 17th September 2007 Keele University , UK Call for papers: Please submit relevant abstracts by 22nd June. The 'brain drain' of skilled labour from poor to rich countries particularly in the healthcare professions continues apace, threatening health, human rights and development goals for the world's poor. The international migration of health workers is induced by and reinforces gross global inequalities that are characteristic of globalisation. They challenge notions that justice, health systems and justice within health systems are areas of only domestic concern. Against this backdrop, this conference is interested in understanding the 'brain drain' of health workers and its impact on global health as matters of justice. more info Global Health, Justice and the ‘Brain Drain’ Start: 09:00 description: One-day interdisciplinary conference on International Health Worker Migration Website: ">http://www.keele.ac.uk/research/lpj/GlobalHealth/ The closing date for submission of abstracts is Friday 22nd June 2007 Keynote Speakers Professor Thomas Pogge, Columbia University Professor Karen Hassell, University of Manchester Globalisation and the prospects of international migration bring both opportunities and challenges.
