ABSTRACT
Migration of medical doctors from African countries to developed nations compromises the delivery of health care on the continent. The full cost of producing a medical doctor was estimated in Malawi by adding the costs of education from primary school through undergraduate medical education. The cost in fees for one medical doctor produced was US$ 56;946.79. The amount of lost investment returns for a doctor who migrated out and served for 30 years in the receiving country ranged from about US$ 433;493 to US$46 million at interest rates 7and 25; respectively. Quantitative assessments of the estimated loss in investment allows for informed policy discussions and decisions
