The World Health Organisation Global Code of Practice and migration of health workers from Zimbabwe
The migration of health workers remains one of the most pressing challenges facing many countries in the global South. This short communication seeks to reignite debate on the effectiveness of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Code as a tool for managing the migration of health workers from the South. While the WHO Code was somewhat effective in reducing the migration of health workers from countries such as Zimbabwe during the first five years of its implementation, demand for health workers in the UK after Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the rate of migration of health workers from countries facing critical shortages. Clearly, new solutions are needed that strike a balance between the right of health workers in the South to migrate and the right of citizens in the region to a stable supply of health workers.
期刊介绍:
Policy making and implementation, planning and management are widely recognized as central to effective health systems and services and to better health. Globalization, and the economic circumstances facing groups of countries worldwide, meanwhile present a great challenge for health planning and management. The aim of this quarterly journal is to offer a forum for publications which direct attention to major issues in health policy, planning and management. The intention is to maintain a balance between theory and practice, from a variety of disciplines, fields and perspectives. The Journal is explicitly international and multidisciplinary in scope and appeal: articles about policy, planning and management in countries at various stages of political, social, cultural and economic development are welcomed, as are those directed at the different levels (national, regional, local) of the health sector. Manuscripts are invited from a spectrum of different disciplines e.g., (the social sciences, management and medicine) as long as they advance our knowledge and understanding of the health sector. The Journal is therefore global, and eclectic.
