The Royal College of Nursing of the United Kingdom have submitted a contribution calling for a stronger emphasis on the UN development goals and the empowerment of women. The paper further discusses migration and focuses on how brain drain can be tackled by promoting better health systems and working environments in African countries. Attention is brought to five priority areas for intervention identified by the International Council of Nurses International Summit on the Global Nursing Workforce in May 2005:
- Macroeconomic and health sector funding policies
- Workforce policy and planning including regulation
- Positive practice environments and organisational performance
- Recruitment and retention, addressing in-country mal-distribution and out-migration
- Nursing leadership
