Following publication of the original article [1], the authors flagged errors in the Introduction and the Discussion of their article.

Namely, in the Projecting Demand section of the Background, the ‘ξpt predictor variables were lagged’ had been written in place of ‘Predictor variables were lagged’. While in the opening paragraph of the Discussion ‘2.86 Saudi nurses per 1,000’ had been erroneously written instead of ‘0.86 Saudi nurses per 1,000’.

The original article has since been updated to amend these errors.
