Abstract
Summary: Medical migration is damaging health systems in developing countries and anesthesia delivery is critically affected, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa. ‘Within country’ postgraduate anesthesia training needs to be supported to encourage more doctors into the specialty. Open‐ended training programs to countries that do not share the same spectrum of disease should be discouraged. Donor agencies have an important role to play in supporting sustainable postgraduate training programs.Keywords
