Webinar on 17 October 2022
Panel discussion at the Sidelines of World Health Summit 2022
“To deliver good quality health care, health systems are relying heavily on skilled , well equipped and remunerated Health professionals. Since in many high income countries of the European region and beyond there is a lack of decent employment and trained workforce, international recruitment appears to be the answer for countries that can offer a relatively higher salary. This phenomenon adds to the uneven distribution of health workforce, both in the European region and globally, following economic imbalances.
Twelve years ago, in 2010, the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel was negotiated and adopted, with the purpose to mitigate these negative effects and hold actively recruiting countries to account. In the following years, rich countries like Germany have expanded their recruitment strategies to mitigate a growing lack of health workforce, while several countries, such as Nigeria and Ghana, struggle with doctors and nurses leaving their health systems.
Left behind are underserved communities, where qualified health workers are missed sorely.
In 2022, international health workforce recruitment remains an urgent but neglected matter in Global Health, that needs to be addressed! In this online event, questions on the effects of excessive recruitment, the adherence of European countries to the WHO Code of Practice and visions and demands for just labour migration governance and regulation are discussed.”
