"How can one fail to support an initiative aimed at eradicating tuberculosis by 2050, when it continues to kill 2 million people a year worldwide?
I do find it surprising, however, that a text which deplores the inadequate health services in developing countries should choose to overlook one of the greatest scandals of our time: the plundering of doctors from these countries by wealthier countries, which have given up training their own doctors sufficiently in the belief that they can cut back on their social protection. Hence, in France, the
or the number of students allowed to proceed to the second year, is around 7 000, whereas every year almost 3 000 doctors with degrees obtained outside Europe are allowed to practise in France. This is without mentioning the foreign students that we train, who thus have French degrees and who never leave. At the same time, the WHO estimates that there is a shortfall of 4.5 million health professionals in poor countries.
It is also strange how the text chooses to overlook the 5 500 to 6 000 cases of tuberculosis in France. The disease had been eradicated there, and its recurrence can be directly linked to mass immigration. I do not believe that we are an isolated case in Europe on this issue, either."@en1
