Table II.2.3.5: Logit regression Output (Difficulty in treating patients VS Intention to<br />

migrate)<br />

Regression Output<br />

Difficulty in treating<br />

patients<br />

Coefficient df P-Value<br />

.182 1 .010<br />

Constant .376 1 .283<br />

The P-value is smaller than 0.10 and <strong>the</strong> coefficient is equal to 0.182. This suggests that<br />

<strong>the</strong> score of difficulty of treating patients is positively related to <strong>the</strong> respondents’<br />

intention to migrate. In o<strong>the</strong>r words, medical doctors facing difficulties in treating<br />

patients have more intention to migrate. So, facing difficulties in treating patients can be<br />

considered as one of <strong>the</strong> reasons leading medical professionals to migrate.<br />

7. Desired changes in Moroccan hospitals and intention to migrate<br />

One of questions in <strong>the</strong> survey asks respondents to suggest <strong>the</strong>ir desired changes in<br />

Moroccan hospitals. The number of desired changes differs from one respondent to<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r. The desired changes include: more nurses (89% of respondents), more doctors<br />

(74%), higher salary (72%), more medical staff (68%), better equipment (18%), and<br />

computers (15%) (figure 10 in <strong>the</strong> appendix). So, it is assumed that <strong>the</strong> higher <strong>the</strong> number<br />

of desired changes in hospitals, <strong>the</strong> less <strong>the</strong> respondent is satisfied with <strong>the</strong> current<br />

situation of <strong>the</strong> health sector in Morocco. Hence, respondents with more desired changes<br />

might have higher intention to migrate. In order to test this hypo<strong>the</strong>sis, a logit regression<br />

is performed with <strong>the</strong> number of desired changes as an independent variable and <strong>the</strong><br />

intention to migrate as a dependent variable.<br />
