Abstract_ This commentary paper highlights changing patterns of outward migration of Zambian nurses. The aim is to discuss these pattern changes in the light of policy developments in Zambia and in receiving countries. Prior to 2000 South Africa was the most important destination for Zambian registered nurses. In 2000 new destination countries such as the United Kingdom became available resulting in a substantial increase in migration from Zambia. This is attributable to the policy of active recruitment by the United Kingdom s National Health Service and Zambia s policy of offering Voluntary Separation Packages early retirement lump-sum payments .
