The term 'brain drain' refers to the net migration of skilled people from one place to another. The 'brain drain' in health is a part of a global health workforce crisis because of the net migration of health professionals from resource-poor countries to resource-rich countries. The health brain drain is a major problem for sub-saharan Africa in particular but it does affect many developing countries, and it affects them in different ways. The main recipient countries for health workers are the USA who absorb by far the most workers, and also Canada, United Kingdom, and to a lesser extent, New Zealand and Australia.
