India's nursing brain drain: Why building more colleges won't stop the crisis
About this episode
The pandemic worsened the nursing crisis in India. If 35 nurses were required for every 10,000 people, India only has 25.
Exploitative work conditions and poor pay are making nurses migrate in huge numbers to other countries for better jobs. It is an exodus.
The government on its part its trying to solve the crisis by building more nursing colleges. But this is akin to a doctor treating the symptom instead of the disease.
Tune in to find out why.
