ABSTRACT: The phenomenon of the brain drain is a form of contemporary emigration
consisting of the best section of the human capital of the country. The loss of
productive dynamism at the highest level stymies the future prospects of the
country. The National Health System is damaged immediately by the phenomenon as
the country is deprived of talented young physicians, the very staff who
comprises the “cadets” of the public health system. Motivation theories and empirical researches and motivation incentives in
medical sector, are the basic tools of administration for the treatment of the
phenomenon. Observing from the
perspective of the administration of the hospital, it is understood that there
is a wide range of actions that can act as a brake on the exodus of young scientists.
A specific incentives package is proposed for implementation from the
management.
