Although I personally have no problem with Saudis hiring more Pakistani doctors I do think Pakistan needs to solve the brain drain issue. No matter how many smart & talented people a country may have, it's always difficult & time consuming to find a suitable replacement for that particular person, & even then the replacement may not be as good as the former.
It's not only doctors that are leaving though, but those who are good in other fields such as engineering are leaving for other countries as well. I can't really blame them either seeing as many people will happily leave to work at a place with better opportunities, pay, & benefits, etc.
On another note Saudi Arabia is trying to Saudize the medical sector, though it's going to take a lot of time for them to do that.
Saudi Gazette - Medical field needs 28 years for full Saudization
Saudi Gazette - Saudize pvt health sector: JCCI
Once oil runs out in next 50 years they wont have any choice but to work themselfs. For now they can bring doctors but then it wont be easy.
