Japan's fear of immigration is hurting their hospitals:
Unlike in some Western countries that welcome medical professionals from abroad, the gap in Japan cannot be filled by foreigners.
Japan has virtually no foreign doctors due to strict immigration rules, although it took the landmark step in 2006 of allowing in a limited number of nurses from the Philippines.

Some argue that the physician shortage is partially due to the increased number of female doctors. They claim they have less longevity than their male counterparts, take more time off for maternity and family matters, and work less hours and take less overnight call.
Brain Blogger recently wrote about this issue. We would love to hear your commentary. Thank you.
