A global dialogue on a global crisis.

摘要

Last month, at the first Global Forum on Human Resources for Health in Kampala, Uganda, delegates endorsed a Global Agenda for Action on the alarming imbalances in the availability and distribution of health workers worldwide. One component of the Agenda was a pledge to "accelerate negotiations for a code of practice on the international recruitment of health workers". The first step was taken on March 31 with the launch of a 3-week online global dialogue convened by the Health Worker Migration Policy Initiative.
