Vera Chouinard
Abstract
This chapter considers some of the linkages between disability, migration and health in the Global South. It begins by providing an overview of what we know about the outmigration of skilled health professionals from the Global South and the consequences of this for poorer nations in the global order. Next a case study of the outmigration of health professionals from Guyana and the important consequences this has for disabled people is presented. This is followed by a agenda for research and action on this issue. The chapter concludes with reflections on changes needed to create a more inclusionary and enabling world.
