dc.description.abstractOn the other hand, insufficient information regarding the mobility and internal migration makes it impossible for MoHSS to plan for the supply and demand of manpower in the public health sector. According to M P Srivastava, (1997) availability of reliable qualitative and quantitiative information on labour force is a requirement for implementation of policies and effective utilization of resources. The study will therefore recommend possible strategies and provide critical and relevant information on internal migration of health professionals that will enable MoHSS to improve conditions of service to include recruitment, utilization and redeployment of health professionals in the country. The alternative strategies to reduce internal migration of health professionals are not only essential in minimizing these movements but also to facilitate coordination and collaboration between the government and other stakeholders in decision-making and policy formulationen_US
