“…..The number of migrating health workers has significantly increased in the past decades, and patterns of migration have become more complex and now involve more countries. Health worker migration from those countries experiencing a crisis shortage in their health workforce is further weakening already fragile health systems and presents a serious impediment to achieving the health-related Millennium Development Goals.

WHO invites Member States, health workers, recruiters, employers, academic and research institutions, health professional organizations, relevant subregional, regional and international organizations, whether governmental or nongovernmental, and all persons concerned with the international recruitment of health personnel to contribute to the web-based public hearings on a draft code of practice on the international recruitment of health personnel
 between 1st and 30 September 2008….”
