Background
Adopted in 2010 at the 63rd World Health Assembly (WHA Res 63.16), the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel (“the Code”) seeks to strengthen the understanding and ethical management of international health personnel recruitment through improved data, information, and international cooperation.
Article 7 of the Code encourages WHO Member States to exchange information on the international recruitment and migration of health personnel. The WHO Director General is mandated to report to the World Health Assembly every 3 years.
WHO Member States completed the 4th round of national reporting in May 2022. The WHO Director General reported progress on implementation to the 75th World Health Assembly in May 2022 (A75/14). The report on the fourth round highlighted the need to assess implications of health personnel emigration in the context of additional vulnerabilities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, the Expert Advisory Group on the relevance and effectiveness of the Code (A 73/9) was reconvened. Following the recommendations of the Expert Advisory Group, the Secretariat has published the WHO health workforce support and safeguards list 2023.
The National Reporting Instrument (NRI) is a country-based, self-assessment tool for information exchange and Code monitoring. The NRI enables WHO to collect and share current evidence and information on the international recruitment and migration of health personnel. The findings from the 5th round of national reporting will be presented to the Executive Board (EB156) in January 2025 in preparation for the 78th World Health Assembly.
The deadline for submitting reports is 31 August 2024.
Article 9 of the Code mandates the WHO Director General to periodically report to the World Health Assembly on the review of the Code’s effectiveness in achieving its stated objectives and suggestions for its improvement. In 2024 a Member-State led expert advisory group will be convened for the third review of the Code’s relevance and effectiveness. The final report of the review will be presented to the 78th World Health Assembly.
For any queries or clarifications on filling in the online questionnaire please contact us at WHOGlobalCode@who.int.

Agreement on cross-border health cooperation between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia
Agreement on cross-border health cooperation between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia, the Government has started the implementation of timely and high-quality treatment of urgent medical conditions of citizens and visitors of northwestern Istria in the Izola General Hospital. Until now, citizens and visitors of northwestern Istria used the services of more distant hospital centers in Pula and Rijeka. However, the cross-border health cooperation between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia enables faster and better treatment of emergency conditions, at times when hospital care time is extremely important. "It is particularly significant that the mentioned model of cross-border cooperation and border bridging in the implementation of national health policies serves as a representative example of good practice and a significant step forward in the implementation of the fundamental principles of the European Union (EU) - solidarity and free movement of the population, in this case patients, which is at the EU level is particularly challenging considering national competences in the field of healthcare.
