NGOs
Structural adjustment programs have made governments keep salaries low and have limited overall budgets for public sector health systems. So salaries and work conditions are often not good. Structural adjustment has also led to donors giving more funding to NGOs so many countries have more NGOs around that are offering positions with much higher pay to skilled health workers thus pulling them away from the public sector and contributing to greater brain drain (4 points)
