Influence of the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief(PEPfAR) on career choices and emigration of health-profession graduates from aUgandan medical school: a cross-sectional study

摘要

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the current work distribution of health professionals from a public Ugandan medical school in a period of major donor funding for HIV programmes. We explore the hypothesis that programmes initiated under unprecedented health investments from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief have possibly facilitated the drain of healthcare workers from the public-health system of countries like Uganda.
