The government must fund more medical training now

Dear Chancellor,
The NHS reports consistently that we need more doctors and nurses. As the Secretary for Education stated on 18 August, "The NHS has always relied significantly on medical professions from overseas" adding "that will not change in my lifetime". But, he continued to defend this on the basis of the cost of providing training to the many young British students who wish to enter the medical professions.
That is appalling.
Why should we be undermining the health systems of Zimbabwe, Pakistan or Nigeria (to name just three countries) by taking people that have been trained at the expense of those countries? It is a neo-colonial mindset that takes resources from less developed nations to minimise what we spend in the UK.
While we have 2.8 doctors per 1,000 people, Pakistan has only 1.1; Nigeria has only 0.4 and Zimbabwe has only 0.08. As the pandemic showed us, health is a global issue and we are not safe from infectious diseases until everyone is safe. We need to boost - rather than denude - health services in less affluent nations.
To reduce our negative impact on global health, the UK needs a clear and properly funded strategy to increase the output of British students from our universities and hospitals so that we can eliminate the need to "steal" from developing nations by 2032.
