It is a matter of great concern that the world is facing the problem of shortage of doctors. It is not that only the poor or developing countries are facing this challenge but the developed countries are also going through the same situation.

They are jut able to give initial treatment or first aid treatment if any patient comes to them.

United Kingdom:-
British government is trying to hire the young doctors of India and Pakistan as they are very honest to their work and are very hard working. Due to the restriction on the foreign medical students that they cannot study or practice here, the government has faced shortage of doctors and faced economic loss also. The situation was so bad that the government had to close some hospitals or some special wards of the hospital like emergency. Due to the security reasons, the British government had to ban the foreign medical students from coming in the country and practice there.

Germany:
