Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List (2020)

Overview

The Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List 2020 has been replaced by the WHO Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List 2023.

In the report on the Relevance and Effectiveness of the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel, the WHO Expert Advisory Group  recommended that countries with the most pressing UHC-related health workforce needs be identified, and that support and safeguards be targeted to these countries. The Expert Advisory Group further called on leading destination countries and development partners, as well as others interested in providing health workforce related support and safeguards, to commit multi-year flexible funds towards implementation of the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel as a global public good.
