WHO Global Code of Practice: National Reporting Instrument 2021
Overview
Adopted in 2010 at the 63rd World Health Assembly (WHA Res 63.16), the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel (“the Code”) seeks to strengthen the understanding and ethical management of international health personnel recruitment through improved data, information, and international cooperation.
The National Reporting Instrument (NRI) is a country-based, self-assessment tool for information exchange and Code monitoring. The NRI enables WHO to collect and share current evidence and information on the international recruitment and migration of health personnel. The findings from the 4th Round of National Reporting are to be presented at the Seventy-fifth World Health Assembly in May 2022. Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the NRI (2021) has been adapted to additionally capture information related to health personnel recruitment and migration in the context of the pandemic.
