The WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel

The WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel is an international agreement that encourages countries to ethically and responsibly recruit health workers. Its goal is to prevent the unfair depletion of health staff from poorer countries and ensure that recruitment practices respect workers' rights. The code promotes mutual cooperation, transparency, and fairness, helping to balance the global distribution of health personnel and improve health systems worldwide. It’s a voluntary guideline aimed at protecting the interests of both health workers and the countries that need them.
