Abstract

This chapter focuses on a descriptive analysis of physician’s migrants from MENA to the European Union (EU). It assesses the determinants of this migration with its effects on sending and receiving economies. The relationship of the migration of medical doctors to health, medical education, and employment in MENA and EU is also discussed. Both descriptive and analytical approaches are used. The attained results show that the main factors for migration are income, work, and living conditions.
