Who Report On Global Health Worker Mobility

The report presents two key indicators of estimating health worker mobility as reported by destination countries – the share of the foreign-trained and/or foreign-born health workers. The results presented in this report formulate new thinking around the interlinkages of monitoring Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 3.c.1 on health worker density and distribution and health worker mobility and migration. This report provides the most comprehensive compendium of data on health workforce migration ever published, with data from 134 countries, areas and territories, covering all six WHO regions. This report stipulates [highlights/emphasizes?] the importance of accurately measuring and monitoring health worker mobility – as a lever of influence – in designing, implementing and assessing remedial policies aimed at addressing skills imbalances and future health systems performance development.
