Bakija shows that the main reasons for running nurses outside Kosovo are lack of jobs, inadequate conditions, low wages, risks at the workplace, and lack of protection from institutions.

During 2023, 713 undocumented licenses and 116 confirmations of the ethical code were withdrawn from nurses in OIC.
