Description

Britains National Health Service grapples with a severe crisis as foreign doctors and nurses are deterred by anti-migrant rhetoric and rising racism. Record numbers of overseas-born medical professionals are leaving, post-Brexit arrivals have halted, and fewer nurses and midwives are joining. The impact is significant, with forty-two percent of UK doctors qualified abroad. Without them, the NHS could easily collapse. The Labour governments focus on UK graduates for training spots is criticized, and leaders urge Prime Minister Keir Starmer to publicly affirm that these invaluable staff are welcome.
