Global: WHO code aims to decrease brain drain
The WHO has developed a "global code of practice" aimed at decreasing brain drain in low- and middle-income countries. The code pledges greater assistance efforts directed towards countries suffering from brain drain as well as further research on the subject in order to create the most effective policies. According to the WHO, health workers often migrate from low-income to high income countries not only for higher salaries, but also for better standards of living and political stability. IDN.
