Nurses Are Leaving Iran in Four Digits

Iran-Covid-19-NCRI-Crisis

While the country is struggling with different variants of the Coronavirus and as hospitals and graveyards are more packed than ever, Iran is losing trained nursing staff in unprecedented numbers; particularly six times more than previous years.

Yousef Rahimi, a member of the Supreme Council of the Nursing Organization, warned about the increase of migration of nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic. According to Hamshahri Online, he said: “When you hire a nurse as an 89-day force after 5 years of education and training, and when you just pay them 15,000 tomans per hour and keep them on “temporarily status” until they get older than their recruitment age, then it perfectly makes sense that they leave as soon as they receive better offers from another country that has all the facilities at their disposal.”

He added: “It costs more than one billion tomans to train a nursing expert. Therefore, we must not allow our forces to be easily lost; The same is true for doctors.”

Highly educated Iranians are emigrating abroad to seek a better life in other countries as a result of the Iranian regime’s ruthless and destructive policies. Iran’s brain drain dilemma is not a matter of today or yesterday. After taking the power, the mullahs’ regime has pursued policies that many sections of Iran’s society, including professionals, the educated, etc. were left with no choice but to emigrate to other countries. Since the 1979 revolution, brain drain in Iran has initiated because of the reign of tyranny and repression of the regime’s former Supreme Leader, Ruhollah Khomeini. During his early reign of terror, Khomeini spoke out and blamed Universities for the ‘calamities that have befallen mankind’ and in regard to many Iranian graduates who emigrated abroad back then, he said, “…To hell with it! Those who are educated, who all talk about science and civilization, let them go.”
