Hide [BGxINT] Antecedentes
El Código de Prácticas Mundial de la OMS sobre Contratación Internacional de Personal de Salud («el Código»), adoptado en 2010 por la 63.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud (resolución WHA63.16), tiene por objeto fortalecer la comprensión y la gestión ética de la contratación internacional de personal de salud a través de la mejora de los datos, la información y la cooperación internacional.

En el artículo 7 del Código se alienta a los Estados Miembros de la OMS a intercambiar información sobre la contratación y migración internacionales de personal de salud. El Director General de la OMS tiene el mandato de presentar informes cada tres años a la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.

En mayo de 2022 los Estados Miembros de la OMS concluyeron la cuarta ronda de presentación de informes nacionales. Ese mismo mes, el Director General de la OMS informó a la 75.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud (A75/14). sobre los progresos logrados en la aplicación del Código. En dicho informe se subrayaba la necesidad de evaluar las repercusiones de la emigración de personal de salud en el contexto de las vulnerabilidades adicionales debidas a la pandemia de COVID-19. A tal efecto, se volvió a convocar al Grupo Consultivo de Expertos Encargado de Examinar la Pertinencia y Eficacia del Código (A73/9). A raíz de las recomendaciones del Grupo Consultivo de Expertos, la Secretaría ha publicado la Lista de la OMS para el Apoyo y la Salvaguardia del Personal de Salud 2023.

El instrumento nacional de presentación de informes (NRI, por sus siglas en inglés) es un instrumento de autoevaluación en el país para el intercambio de información y el seguimiento del Código. El NRI permite a la OMS recopilar e intercambiar los datos e información actualmente disponibles sobre la contratación y migración internacionales de personal de salud. Las constataciones de la quinta ronda de presentación de informes nacionales se presentarán al Consejo Ejecutivo (156.ª reunión) en enero de 2025, en preparación para la 78.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.

El plazo para presentar informes finaliza el 31 de agosto de 2024.

En virtud del artículo 9, el Director General tiene el mandato de presentar informes periódicos a la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud sobre el examen de la eficacia del Código para alcanzar los objetivos enunciados en el mismo, así como propuestas para mejorarlo. En 2024 se convocará un grupo consultivo de expertos para llevar a cabo el tercer examen del Código. El informe del examen se presentará a la 78.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.

Hide [Q15] 15. Sírvase enumerar, por orden de prioridad, los tres principales obstáculos a la gestión ética de la migración internacional en su país y proponga posibles soluciones:
Principales obstáculos Posibles soluciones/recomendaciones
Inadequate public funding of health care systems hinders the capacity of the government to promote fair and ethical recruitment and address structural drivers or root causes of health worker migration. Increase public funding and prioritize strengthening public health care systems to address health inequalities, ensure health workforce sustainability and achieve universal health care for all.
Limited awareness of the Code and ethical recruitment practices among migrant health workers, trade unions, and personnel recruiters. Improve cooperation amongst stakeholders through communication, consultations/dialogues, particularly in the private sector.
The voluntary nature of the CODE does not guarantee the actual adherence and implementation of its principles. Efforts are required to ensure that its principles are effectively embraced and put into practice. Advocate for international resolutions and efforts to ensure that the CODE’s principles are effectively embraced and put into practice. Develop and publicly share monitoring reports of the CODE’s implementation from sending and receiving countries.
Hide [Q16] 16. ¿Qué tipo de apoyo necesita para mejorar la aplicación del Código?
Apoyo para mejorar los datos y la información sobre el personal de salud
Apoyo para el diálogo y la formulación de políticas
Apoyo para la conclusión de acuerdos bilaterales/multilaterales
Otros
General comments Establish a robust knowledge base through expert-led regional and national trend analyses. Increase capacity-building activities, including the creation of automated systems for National Recruitment Information (NRI) data collection, offering training in healthcare labor market data analysis and leadership skills, and increasing the number of qualified trainers to support countries in need. Strengthen advocacy efforts to improve working conditions, enhance protection mechanisms, and provide better support and return on investment for source countries. Include clear monitoring mechanisms for recruitment agencies and government-to-government bilateral agreements, specifying the data and information required. Data-sharing agreements or platforms for exchanging information about migrant health workers should also be established. To streamline reference, the Code and NRI should be harmonized with the new guidelines on Bilateral Labor Agreements (BLAs) ([WHO BLAs Guidelines](https://www.who.int/publications-detail-redirect/9789240073067)), integrating them into a cohesive package. Consider gathering feedback from migrant health workers who are not affiliated with any organizations or groups to get a better understanding of how the Code is being implemented. Create a system to track investment transfers and measure the benefits gained from implementing the Code.

Hide [Q17] 17. Habida cuenta de que el Código es un documento dinámico que debería ser actualizado siempre que sea necesario, sírvase aportar las reflexiones de su país sobre los últimos 14 años, desde la resolución en que se adoptó el Código.
Hide [Q17x1] Sírvase indicar en sus observaciones si el Código ha sido útil para su país, y de qué modo lo ha sido.
As of 2023, the latest data from the Department of Migrant Workers and Commission of Filipinos Overseas indicates that a notable number of qualified Filipino health professionals, specifically physicians, nurses, and midwives, are relocating from the country either permanently or temporarily for employment purposes. The Code has played a pivotal role in enhancing awareness among healthcare professionals and policymakers concerning the ethical implications associated with international recruitment. Consequently, this has prompted increased advocacy for just and equitable practices, with a particular focus on safeguarding the rights of Filipino healthcare workers. Furthermore, the Code serves as a valuable tool for shaping bilateral agreements and other international legal mechanisms and facilitates international dialogue and collaboration regarding ethical recruitment practices. Ultimately, it contributes to reinforcing healthcare systems, particularly in developing nations. Moreover, the heightened recognition of the Code, particularly among national government agencies, fosters more structured inter-agency partnerships aimed at managing the mobility of the health workforce while addressing both national and international healthcare needs. While the Code reporting allows for contributions from organizations, the process may include mechanisms for individual health personnel to report on their experience as internationally recruited health personnel.

Utilizing tripartism in monitoring of the Code must also be considered to enable relevant parties to have equal footing in reaching agreements and decision making on labor and migration matters. Improving capacities of source countries for health labor market analysis and management may greatly improve sustainability and negotiation strength for international recruitment
