As regards retention its a tricky one - there exists a bonding scheme for clinicians and we intend to use that - a large proportion of income - in fact the majority, in these countries comes from overseas relatives in Australia, New Zealand the US or the UK sending money home so even if we do lose some at least it indirectly contributes to the economy and prosperity of the home country. Also studies have shown that in middle age most of these overseas based nationals will return home so long term we hope to have a mature knowlege base.
Thankyou for the reference to the other thread - it will be useful to compare and add to my ideas.
