Article-Summary: 

Malawi is facing a health crisis as trained nurses leave to seek better wages abroad. More than half come to Britain to work for the NHS and private hospitals. Last year over 12,000 nurses from outside the European Union registered to work in the UK. In contrast Malawi, one of the world's poorest countries, trains around 60 nurses each year.
