on the alarming imbalances in the availability and distribution of health
workers worldwide. One component of the Agenda was a pledge to
"accelerate negotiations for a code of practice on the international
recruitment of health workers". The first step was taken on March 31 with
the launch of a 3-week online <a href="http://my.ibpinitiative.org/public/HWMigration" target="_blank"><font color="navy"><span style="color: navy;">global dialogue</span></font></a> convened by the Health

unique opportunity for anyone affected by the vast complexities of
health-worker migration, in whatever capacity, to share experiences and
knowledge on the realities of migration, on effective strategies to retain
health workers where they are needed most, and on what the key principles of a
global code of practice should be. But is another code of practice really
required?..........."</span></font></p>
