>The real issue is that developed countries refuse to import doctors.

That's completely ridiculous. Developed countries actively import doctors, going so far as to genuinely trying to lure them by advertising the kinds of salaries they can get.

Countries like Sweden, Norway, Germany, etc. now get significant numbers of their dcotors from abroad. Because their own population doesn't provide enough doctors. Additionally, the foreign ones tend to be cheaper (both because they're paid less but also because you don't need to put them through education).

It's so extreme that in some developing countries of Europe, half the doctors leave for the above-mentioned developed countries.

Maybe that's because you have some kind of inter-EU arrangements?
