CGFNS International, Inc., the world\u2019s largest credentials assessment organization for Human Resources for Health (HRH), is proud to announce the publishing of a case study on CGFNS\u2019 Alliance Code for Ethical International Recruitment Practices in the Human Resources for Health Journal, a division of BioMed Central- Open Access Publisher.<\/span><\/p>\n

The case study was written by Dr. Franklin A. Shaffer, President & CEO of CGFNS International, Inc., along with Mukul Bakhshi, Esq, Director of the CGFNS Alliance, Dr. Julia To Dutka, Strategist and Dr. Janice Phillips, Director of Governmental and Regulatory Affairs, to discuss the benefits and challenges of a voluntary, multi-stakeholder agreement on best practices to promote ethical recruitment of migrant healthcare professionals. The case study also provides insight into the factors affecting the migration of human resources for health and the relevancy and effectiveness of the WHO Code in conjunction with efforts such as the Alliance Code.<\/span><\/p>\n

The projected significant increase in migrant healthcare professionals, particularly in the nursing profession, is a key factor for why implementation of the Code for ethical international recruitment practices is needed. By facilitating the adoption of and compliance with a set of standards, the CGFNS Alliance Code complements the WHO Global Code of Practice and advances its impact.
