Healthcare professional migration has been a major issue in the African healthcare system. This is due to push factors such as economic instability, inadequate work conditions, insufficient support, and a lack of infrastructure, which have all contributed to the increased migration rates in sub-Saharan countries. On the contrary, pull factors like optimal work conditions, better work-life balance, and financial benefits have attracted African healthcare workers to settle abroad, where this issue has been exacerbated during the post-pandemic COVID-19 era. It is crucial for governments, healthcare organizations, and stakeholders to invest in proper resources, training, and autonomy to better support the working conditions and rights of African healthcare workers. Governments, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), healthcare organizations and stakeholders must utilize a global agenda and implement policies, partnerships, and technological solutions for a more equitable, accessible, and dependable healthcare system.
医疗专业人员的迁移一直是非洲医疗系统中的一个主要问题。这是由于经济不稳定、工作条件不足、支持不够以及基础设施缺乏等推动因素造成的，所有这些因素都导致了撒哈拉以南国家移民率的上升。相反，诸如最佳工作条件、更好的工作与生活平衡以及经济利益等拉动因素吸引了非洲医疗工作者在国外定居，在新冠疫情后的时代，这个问题更加严重。政府、医疗组织和利益相关者必须投入适当的资源、培训和自主权，以更好地支持非洲医疗工作者的工作条件和权利。政府、非政府组织、医疗组织和利益相关者必须利用全球议程，实施政策、建立伙伴关系并采用技术解决方案，以建立一个更加公平、可及和可靠的医疗系统。
