> The issue has drawn attention to the dire state of the health system in the southern Italian region, which paradoxically has an unemployment rate of about 20% yet struggles to attract medical staff. Working conditions there are notoriously harsh, largely because the remaining doctors and nurses shoulder an enormous workload.

  The economics problem, no matter where, isn't solved by importing practitioners, it is growing them at home and, AND incentivizing them to stay working. Everyone is trying to pinch experts from everyone else, and not have to raise them up. All the while burning out everyone left. It will take 10 years to make meaningful solutions, but like we saw in the pandemic, we have a lot of people trained up, but the AMA etc don't want to bring them onboard for pedantic reasons.
