Hide [S01] Monitoring progress on the implementation of Code – Second round reporting (2015-2016)

On May 21, 2010 the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel (the “Code”) was adopted by the 193 Member States of the World Health Organization. The Code encourages information exchange on issues related to health personnel and health systems in the context of migration, and suggests regular reporting every three years on measures taken to implement the Code. The reporting process is an integral component of the effective implementation of the voluntary principles and practices recommended by the Code.

A self-assessment tool for countries second-round reporting

To monitor the progress made in implementing the Code, and in accordance with the request of the World Health Assembly (Resolution WHA63.16), a national self-assessment tool was created for Member States.

You have been nominated as Designated National Authority (DNA) to respond to the updated national reporting instrument (NRI) via this web-based data interface.

Disclaimer: The data and information collected through the National Reporting Instrument will be made publicly available via the WHO web-site following the proceedings of the World Health Assembly, May 2016.

Regarding fair recruitment practices, international recruitment can be regulated by the Brazilian Health Ministry, which so far, has only recruited international medical doctors for the primary care (Projeto Mais Médicos para o Brasil), which posses a 36 months working visa. For renewable working visas Professionals must undergo the National Exam for obtaining authorization to practice medicine, named REVALIDA, thereby being able to enjoy the same rights as any national or can come to Brazil in positions that do not necessarily require direct medical clinic practices such as researches, employees of business companies, consultants for pharmaceutical companies and so on. In that case, the specific visa will be required by the employer. (1) Ministry of Education (Brazil) - Ordinance No. 278 of 17 March 2011. Establishes a process supported by a unified instrument of assessment and examination for revalidation of foreign diplomas compatible with the training requirements related to medical diplomas issued by Brazilian universities, in line with the National Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Medical Program, with appropriate parameters and criteria for measuring isonomic curricular equivalence and definition of suitability corresponding to the professional practice of medicine in Brazil.
