SUVA, Fiji, 13 June 2023 (IDN) — Fiji’s ailing medical industry has seen another massive blow as over 800 nurses have reportedly left for greener pastures so far this year, either to the local private sector or migrated overseas, mainly to neighbouring Australia and New Zealand.

Along with the ageing medical infrastructure,  neglected by past Fijian governments, low salaries and the quality of support from the Ministry of Health during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic have all contributed to the sorry state of the health sector here.

According to orthopedic surgeon Dr Eddie McCaig, nurses are leaving in droves, with over 800—a quarter of the workforce—migrating overseas in the past year alone.  (P06)  CHINESE | JAPANESE

欧州の公務員が児童人身売買に関与した疑い

【ウィーンIDN=オーロラ・ワイス】

 

2022年12月、ザンビアのヌドラ空港入国管理局が8人のクロアチア人を児童人身売買と文書偽造の容疑で逮捕したとのニュースが伝わり、クロアチア当局関係者がこれに関与したのではないかとの疑いが持ちあがった。

当初は、コンゴ民主共和国出身の児童の養子縁組に関する文書の真実性が疑われた。と言うのも、2017年以来、同国の児童を国境を越えて養子にすることは法的に禁じられているからだ。逮捕された容疑者は児童人身売買未遂によって訴追され、ザンビア最高裁で審理が間もなく開かれる。

養子縁組に関わる文書の偽造に関わったとされるコンゴの弁護士もあわせて逮捕されており、すべて違法と知りつつ行ったとの容疑を認めている。
