Finally, <strong>the</strong> questionnaire records reveal that <strong>the</strong> migration conditions factors that bo<strong>the</strong>r<br />

respondents and <strong>the</strong>refore might limit <strong>the</strong>ir intention to migrate include equivalence test<br />

(56% of respondents), readmission into <strong>the</strong> host country (44%), partner and child terms<br />

(43%), and salaries (17%). The assumed hypo<strong>the</strong>sis reveals that <strong>the</strong>se migration<br />

conditions have a negative effect on respondents’ intention to migrate. So, <strong>the</strong> higher <strong>the</strong><br />

number of migration conditions disturbing medical professionals, <strong>the</strong> lower will be <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

intention to migrate. In order to test whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>se factors are related to respondents’<br />

intention to migrate, a logistic regression is performed with <strong>the</strong> number of conditions<br />

mentioned by respondents as an independent variable and intention to migrate as a<br />

dependent variable. The results suggest that <strong>the</strong>se migration conditions do not negatively<br />

affect respondents’ intention to migrate. Even though, such conditions might be <strong>the</strong><br />

reason pushing <strong>the</strong>se respondents to still practice in Morocco even if <strong>the</strong>y have intention<br />

to migrate.<br />

Conclusion<br />

When looking closely to a specific country (Morocco) of <strong>the</strong> MENA region, it appears<br />

that local needs of healthcare are increasing. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, enhancements in quality of<br />

health services are also expected. This is happening under <strong>the</strong> effects of demographic<br />

changes, income enhancement and urbanization but also with <strong>the</strong> promotion of social<br />

programs. While <strong>the</strong>se demand side impacts are progressively increasing in <strong>the</strong> future, <strong>the</strong><br />

supply side is also diversifying <strong>the</strong> means of providing better services. In this process,<br />

while medical research needs to be emphasized, <strong>the</strong> deficit in medical doctors is<br />

considered on medium term, to be increased. Medical education and research are <strong>the</strong>n<br />

becoming central parts for satisfying <strong>the</strong> pressure from increased health demand. When<br />

accounting for <strong>the</strong> emigration of medical doctors, <strong>the</strong> pressure of demand becomes even<br />

more important. Away from health technologies that need continuous updating, human<br />

resources and especially medical doctors and human expertise appear to be crucial. The<br />

cooperative frameworks with o<strong>the</strong>r countries and mainly with <strong>the</strong> EU and <strong>the</strong> countries<br />

composing it can be an important source for satisfying both <strong>the</strong> needs of <strong>the</strong> EU and those<br />
