The World Health Organization (WHO) recently posted for comment a Draft code of practice on the international recruitment of health personnel. The WHO announcement, reads, in part,

"The numbers of migrating health workers have significantly increased in the past decades, and patterns of migration have become more complex and have involved more countries. Health worker migration from those countries that are already experiencing a crisis in their health workforce is further weakening already fragile health systems and presents a serious impediment to achieving the health-related Millennium Development Goals."
