| Summary: | In this article, we attempt to decipher the reality of the emigration of Maghrebi doctors to France. We have also reported on the training capacities in these three countries and the emigration intentions of young doctors. The results of our work highlight disparities in medical training capacities and confirm the overall trend towards feminization in the medical professions in the Maghreb countries. Algeria trains four times as many doctors as Morocco and eight times more than Tunisia, which influences local medical densities and the number of migrant doctors. Our estimates of emigration rates according to the country of diploma acquisition and birthplace show that emigration, even if important, cannot be characterized as massive. However, some specialties are particularly affected by emigration, such as anesthesiology-intensive care, radiodiagnosis-medical imaging, nephrology, and especially psychiatry, which could face severe shortages, especially in countries where training capacities have not evolved significantly. Furthermore, the intentions of young doctors to emigrate remain strong, with France as preferred destination, followed by Germany, Canada, and Gulf countries. This trend could exacerbate the inequalities in the geographical distribution of doctors, which directly impacts access to healthcare for populations living in poorly covered regions |
