Radiation oncologists and physicists from poorer countries who train abroad commonly emigrate, and money alone does not keep them. A package combining a return-of-service bond, salary top-ups, a guarantee of working equipment, academic links and a predictable career path, co-funded by government and donors, should be trialled with five-year retention measured.
Training a radiation oncologist or physicist abroad and losing them to emigration is a common outcome. The evidence from other specialties suggests that money alone does not retain staff; working equipment, professional development, academic links, and predictable career paths matter as much. A retention package co-funded by government and donors, tied to training scholarships, with a return-of-service bond and a functioning-equipment guarantee, could be trialled and its five-year retention measured.
