The migration of over 10,000 graduates from Tehran University of Medical Sciences abroad is considered a warning sign for the educational and health system of the country. The head of the alumni relations office announced this news, explaining that this migration mainly includes graduates from the fields of medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy.
Reasons for Migration
The head of the alumni relations office pointed to the unsuitable economic and social conditions as well as the lack of facilities and job opportunities within the country as reasons for this migration. Many graduates leave the country in search of better quality of life and access to better facilities. This issue is particularly evident in the medical and healthcare communities, where the demand for health and medical services in other countries is higher than in Iran.

Consequences of Migration
This migration not only affects the workforce structure in the health and medical sector of the country but can also create serious problems for the health system. With a decrease in the number of doctors and specialists in Iran, people's access to medical services diminishes, which can lead to an increase in diseases and health problems. On the other hand, this issue can, in turn, increase the financial burden on the government and the country's health system.
Experts believe that if this trend continues, Iran will face a severe shortage of human resources in the health and medical sector. There is also a need to investigate the root causes of this migration and create suitable conditions for graduates to remain in the country.
Role of the Government and Universities
The government and universities must work towards improving the working and educational conditions for graduates. Creating suitable job opportunities and improving economic conditions can significantly help retain these individuals in the country. Additionally, planning to enhance educational and health facilities is another action that can help reduce migration.
Ultimately, addressing this issue requires cooperation and collaboration among all governmental and private entities to create suitable conditions, prevent the exit of skilled human resources, and allow Iran to make the best use of its capacities.
