- Abstract
The current general situation of Iraqi doctors' satisfaction, as an associated factor with brain drain problem, has been started to be studied academically. Serious findings have been registered due to serious challenges that face doctors. These seem to have resulted in frustration and have made half of the doctors to think to immigrate outside Iraq; more seriously one third may take this step shortly. This may lead to real shortage in the health service providers. Such a situation in addition to the existing defect in the health system infrastructure and lack of training opportunities may end with new crisis in this country and add more burden on the suffering health institutions unless effective and efficient measures are taken soon.
