This note is written for two reasons: the first is to thank Drs Ndetei, Karim and Mubbashar for their fine article (Ndetei et al, 2004) and for reminding the readers of International Psychiatry of the problems arising from the ‘brain drain’; and the second is to comment on the astonishing argument presented in the paper written in reply by Catherine Jenkins, of the UK Department of Health (Jenkins, 2004).
