Staffing Crisis in Tajik Mental Hospitals
Jamoliddin Saifiddinov reports from southern Tajikistan where the level of psychiatric care is declining because hospitals cannot recruit or retain doctors.

The basic problem is that psychiatrists, like other doctors, are so poorly paid that it is hardly worth staying in the profession, let alone trying to join it.
