          Abstract

          Desde hace muchas décadas los países en desarrollo sufrimos de la "fuga de cerebros". Los países industrializados han elevado sus barreras y han creado mecanismos para atraer a los profesionales extranjeros, con una agresiva actitud de captura de talentos, en el afán de ganar competitividad. Para menguar esa situación, la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia ha creado su propia beca del retorno hace unos 12 años, repatriando a 12 científicos. El salario que los ha atraído suma en total US\(333 540 y ellos han logrado captar fondos para investigación de US\) 9 249 828,42 en el mismo período, cifra que es 27 veces mayor a lo que invirtió en ellos la universidad. Han producido ocho artículos nacionales y 68 artículos internacionales, han preparado a nivel de tesis a 29 estudiantes de pregrado y a 20 de posgrado. Esta experiencia, todavía en evolución, representa un éxito capaz de ser emulado por otras universidades e instituciones de nuestros países.

          Translated abstract

          Developing countries suffer from brain drain for many decades. Industrialized countries have raised their barriers against immigrants, but have created mechanisms to attract foreign professionals, with aggressive policies to capture talents, in an effort to increase their competitiveness. To mitigate the effects of the migration of scientists, the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia has created its own "return scholarship" about 12 years ago, and has repatriated 12 scientists through it. The funds invested in attracting the scholars total U.S. \(333,540.00 and they have secured U.S. \) 9’249,828.42 in research funds during the same period, a figure over 27 times higher. They have published 8 articles in national journals, 68 internationally, and trained 29 undergraduate and 20 graduate students as Thesis Tutors. Other universities and institutions of our countries can emulate this successful experience, which is still evolving.

              Brain drain from developing countries: how can brain drain be converted into wisdom gain?

              Brain drain is defined as the migration of health personnel in search of the better standard of living and quality of life, higher salaries, access to advanced technology and more stable political conditions in different places worldwide. This migration of health professionals for better opportunities, both within countries and across international borders, is of growing concern worldwide because of its impact on health systems in developing countries. Why do talented people leave their countries and go abroad? What are the consequences of such migrations especially on the educational sector? What policies can be adopted to stem such movements from developing countries to developed countries? This article seeks to raise questions, identify key issues and provide solutions which would enable immigrant health professionals to share their knowledge, skills and innovative capacities and thereby enhancing the economic development of their countries.
