According to the obtained data,positive and negative consequences of migration in the health system of the Republic Macedonia have been identified, as well as managing the health workforce in order to prevent migration and rulemaking the health structure and organization of the health system. It was concluded that the policy makers need to plan the required number of doctors per capita of the number of health institutions in the country, to provide appropriate working conditions, career advancement and financial benefit because no-planned and unmanaged outflow of health workers which is in a steady rise can damage and so weakened health system of the country.
