Are allied health degrees useful in other countries?

i'm a veterinary technician and I am looking for a career change anyways, but especially because I've researched and found that outside of north America, and a few western European countries (and no i have no interest in becoming a veterinarian), veterinary technician as a job role doesn't really exist. While I have no interest in being a human nurse, which I know that travel nurses are high in demand, I do see myself in another healthcare role that deals with technology (i.e. radiologist technician, respiratory therapy). As far as the country I'm looking to venture to, it would be somewhere in Central America, or somewhere in West or South Africa. Do these countries seek people with allied health degrees before I waste my time and money?

I’ve never heard of the term “allied health degrees”.
What each country needs will be different. Why not just do some research on what qualifies as a desirable qualification in the country you wish to move to?

Honest answer is laziness. Work and school full time means I don't have much time

What is an ”allied health degree”?
If you want to work in healthcare, you must be fluent in the official language(s) of your target country. If you’re American, that and your reliance of high wages tends to restrict you to handful of countries.

Allied health would be any type of Healthcare personnel that aren't Dr's
