Why does the world's top supplier of nurses face a shortage at home?

The Philippines, one of the world’s largest providers of nurses, is in need of at least 106,000 nurses. That is according to the health department. Private hospitals are bearing the brunt – with an estimated 40 percent of their nursing workforce leaving to work abroad in the past three years.
