Hide [BGxINT] 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.

Aporte basado en los datos de la OCDE "Según datos recientes de la OCDE, el número de médicos nacidos en el extranjero en los países de la organización ha aumentado en un 70% desde 2000, y en algunos países pequeños o con sistemas de salud frágiles, la migración internacional de personal sanitario genera pérdidas significativas. Ante este panorama, España puede proponer un enfoque más personalizado que fortalezca la equidad en la distribución del personal sanitario, particularmente en los países más afectados por la fuga de cerebros. A través de mejoras en los acuerdos bilaterales y multilaterales, se pueden desarrollar políticas de contratación ética y transparente, que no solo respeten los derechos de los trabajadores de la salud migrantes, sino que también ayuden a mitigar el impacto negativo en los países de origen, garantizando así que el Código de Prácticas Mundial de la OMS siga siendo una herramienta efectiva para abordar los desafíos actuales y futuros de la migración internacional de personal sanitario."
