Shortage of qualified professionals No shortage Source: Sta7s7cs of Germany Federal Employment Agency Global migra6on of health personnel WHO Global Code of Prac6ce (2010) •  Resolu6on 2004 •  The World Health Report 2006 •  WHO Global Code of Prac6ce on the Interna6onal Recruitment of Health Personnel (2010) •  Adopted by all Member States at the World Health Assembly in May 2010 WHO Global Code of Prac6ce (2010) Key components of the Code include: •  assist countries facing cri6cal health worker shortages with their efforts to improve and support their health workforce; •  Monitoring of the interna6onal migra6on of health workers in order to develop evidence-­‐based policies; •  Member States should meet their health personnel needs with their own human resources as far as possible and thus take measures to educate, retain and sustain their health workforce; and •  migrant workers' rights are enshrined and equal to domes6cally-­‐trained health workers. Challenges: -­‐  Voluntary prac6ces, non-­‐binding instrument -­‐  Awareness raising -­‐  Management of migra6on à irregular migra6on? Triple Win – a sustainable immigra6on policy ü  Triple Win considers the situa7on in countries of origin. We adhere to the Codex of the World Health Organiza6on (WHO) and renounce recruitment of skilled workers from countries which themselves have skills shortages in nursing. In addi6on, the countries of origin achieve a know-­‐how transfer in the long term. ü  Triple Win takes into account the interests of employers. Due to individual linguis6c /professional prepara6on and integra6on of nurses into the German society, employers benefit: They get a well-­‐prepared and qualified workforce. ü  Triple Win takes into account the personal situa7on of nurses. Immigra6on is successful if the nurses are not only well integrated in the labor market, but also in their social environment. Professionals improve their skills and career prospects.
