*The WHO Health workforce support and safeguards list (2020) has been replaced by the WHO Health workforce support and safeguards list (2023).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.
The WHO Health workforce support and safeguards list (2020) comprises forty-seven countries. These countries face the most pressing health workforce challenges related to UHC, pursuant to the methodology contained in the Report on the Relevance and Effectiveness of the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel.
