HEALTH WORK RECRUITMENT IN EUROPE AND BEYOND

- STILL A CRUCIAL MATTER IN GLOBAL HEALTH



MONDAY, 17.10.2022, 12.30 – 14.00H

(LUNCH BREAK AT WORLD HEALTH SUMMIT 2022)

ONLINE SESSION* VIA ZOOM WEBINAR



Registration: https://www.medico.de/health-work-recruitment-18809



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.
