The international job fair for health professionals, which opens today in Bucharest, is an opportunity for countries in need of doctors, such as the United Kingdom, France, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden, to fill health service vacancies -- and they have the means to offer wages and working conditions that are far beyond the scope of Romania"s health budget. At this and other fairs, which are regular events in several major cities across Central and Eastern Europe, Western health-care recruiters lure Romanian doctors abroad with salaries that they could never hope to earn at home: typically, they offer between 2,000 and 3 000 euros per month (a starting salary in Germany's biggest chain of private hospitals, Asklepios Kliniken), as opposed to the 300 euros per month that can expect to earn in Romania. In Scandinavia and the UK, it is not unusual for medical specialists to take home between 10,000 and 12 000 euros per month. Recruitment agencies from more than ten European countries, and also from Australia and New Zealand, have announced they will be participating at the current fair, which is organized by MediPharm Careers, a Polish recruitment agency specializing in medical staff, along with Hearty Europe LLC (an American medical tourism company), and Romanian communications specialist Houston NPA.

Rich western countries that are too cheap to train their own doctors come to the less wealthy parts of the world and steal the health care professionals so that the less wealthy parts of the world have worse health care as well.
