title: An overview of papers presented at Building Global Alliances III: The Impact of Global Nurse Migration on Health Services Delivery.
abstract: Global nurse migration has become a major phenomenon, impacting health service delivery in both developed and developing countries. The phenomenon has created a global labor market for health professionals and fueled international recruitment. International migration and recruitment are viewed as solutions to staffing shortages for some countries and as exacerbating problems for others. As a result, migration and recruitment have become prominent features of the international health policy debate.
