Italy Loses 10,000 Doctors in Ten Years to Emigration
 
5 Feb 2019
 
During the ten-year period from 2005 to 2015, over ten thousand doctors and eight thousand nurses left Italy to work abroad, Italian media have reported.

Italy’s medical “brain drain” is not expected to slow up any time soon, ANSA reported, with estimates suggesting that matters will get worse before they get better.

The number of Italians emigrating from their home country more than doubled between 2010 and 2014, according to a 2016 report from the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), which showed that key destination countries included the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland and France.

Are these 10,000 native born Italians, or are they "residents," that got the education, then left for better prospects elsewhere?
