Mr. Harrison Kofi Abutiate, Managing Director of Paracelsus Pharmacy and Company Ltd in Accra, says sending trained professionals from Ghana to countries that need their services for a fee could help solve the brain drain problem in the country.
"I wish to state that Ghana cannot stop the brain drain of professionals to countries of their choice. What has to be done is to find out which of our professionals are in high demand by which countries so that we can develop strategies to satisfy these demands at a profit to Mother Ghana," he said.
In a press release, Mr Abutiate said if Ghana supplied Countries in which professionals such as Doctors and nurses were in high demand for a fee, "the income could be used to improve the training facilities, pay the lecturers and those professionals who remain in the country better salaries as well as generate some foreign exchange for Ghana".
He said with the establishment of more training facilities for the implementation of proposals, more students would have facilities to enter higher institutions of learning, while most professionals would also have the opportunity to gain financially.
"After all, if Ghana could produce international civil servants, media, legal, IT, political and medical giants for the world, there are no world professionals we cannot produce," he said.
