Abstract
The phenomenon of brain drain – defined as the migration of health care professionals from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), which have a gross national income (GNI) per capita of less than $14 005, to high-income countries (HICs), where the GNI per capita exceeds $14 005 – in pursuit of improved working conditions, better opportunities, advanced training, and stronger health care systems, poses a critical challenge to LMICs, particularly in specialties like gastroenterology.
