Popis:	Abstract Background Although Saudi Arabia is a common destination to which nurses and doctors migrate, few studies have explored the pull factors attracting them to work in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia. This qualitative study explores the pull factors drawing nurses and doctors to work in Saudi Arabian hospitals. Methods The study utilized a qualitative approach with focus groups. The participants included 83 doctors and nurses at two government hospitals. Results Five themes (rewards, job entry requirements, religion, influence of family and friends, and changing work environments) were identified based on the 10 focus group sessions. Conclusion Moving forward, health managers should proactively plan the state of healthcare as the need for migrant healthcare workers changes.
