On June 17-18, a gathering of the Expert Advisory Group took place in Geneva to discuss the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel. Ethical Recruitment Principles The Code, which was established in 2010, underscores the importance of ethical recruitment practices in the healthcare sector and advocates for international collaboration. It also emphasizes the need for investing in health workforce education and retention to ensure the sustainability of health systems. Enhanced Monitoring and Reporting The Code incorporates provisions for regular information sharing and monitoring, with reports scheduled every five years to evaluate its impact. Comprising diverse stakeholders, the Expert Advisory Group aims to offer valuable perspectives on international health workforce recruitment and migration. Priority on Health Workforce Development The World Health Assembly acknowledges the pivotal role of the health workforce in achieving universal health coverage and addressing global health crises. The ongoing review of the Code seeks to tackle the escalating international migration of health professionals and explore mutually beneficial solutions. Promoting Fair Working Conditions Effective implementation of the Code can help mitigate workforce vulnerabilities, promote equitable working conditions for migrant health practitioners, and facilitate collaboration across nations. By training and deploying a sufficient number of healthcare professionals, countries can enhance their capacity to meet the healthcare needs of their populations. The meeting underscored the pressing need to address health workforce migration and cultivate reciprocal advantages for both nations and healthcare workers.
