International Code of Ethical Recruitment of Health Workers

The International Code of Ethical Recruitment of Health Workers provides guidelines to ensure that countries and employers recruit health professionals responsibly. It aims to prevent practices like exploiting workers, misleading them about job conditions, or recruiting in ways that harm their home countries' health systems. The code promotes transparency, fairness, and respect for workers' rights, encouraging ethical treatment and supporting global health equity. Its goal is to protect health workers while ensuring they are recruited in a way that benefits both the individuals and the health systems they serve.
