Sector Rotation Time?, page-10

You are joking.. arent you? Did you know over 50% of the doctors in Australia are overseas born and more than half of them are overseas trained.. they had no formal training in Australia other than passing an exam... I know at least a few from Malaysia, Indonesia and India who have taken that path.

You are just talking without any substantiated data.. Some of those countries with medical tourism have better facilities and doctors compared to Australia..

Perhpas it is time you changed your perception and opened your eyes.... to make it easier, here you go as an example -

Policy expert Dr Erin Watson-Lynn suggests adopting greater skills recognition for Indian healthcare workers could help ease Australia’s medical crisis.

“The amount of time you have to spend in a clinical setting in Australia to become qualified – (there are) all these mismatches in being able to actually do it,” said Dr Watson-Lynn, who holds a PhD on Australia-India relations.

“Part of the problem is India has the capability to train excellent healthcare workers. To fill that gap, we should have better skills recognition for nurses and other healthcare workers from India.

“A lot of people in Australia have a very negative perception of healthcare in India and other developing world countries after Covid, however they produce many skilled doctors and nurses.

“I’ve walked through those hospitals in India and they are incredible – there are parts of me that would rather be treated there.

“The public system works where you often have to know someone to get into the hospital.

“(But) there’s the whole private system which is extraordinary, and the quality and standards are very high.”

India’s centralised system and large population means healthcare workers are exposed to huge numbers of very sick patients, Dr Watson-Lynn says, giving them strong training opportunities.

“They get very good training and are probably exposed to a lot more advanced illness than medical students and junior doctors in Australia,” she added.
