Book excerpt: The Expert Advisory Group on the Relevance and Effectiveness of the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel (the “Code”) was re-convened in 2022 to inform decisions on the update of the Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List (the “list”) published in 2020. The Expert Advisory Group recognized the additional vulnerabilities in health workforce availability and health service coverage in response to the need to maintain essential health services during the COVID-19 pandemic, while also exploring possible additional criteria to identify countries requiring further support and safeguards. The Expert Advisory Group took note of the limitations in availability of health workforce data for 2021 and 2022 and the lack of correlation between additional parameters and health workforce and service coverage vulnerability; therefore, its members recommended retaining the density of health workers and the universal health coverage service coverage index as the two criteria for the WHO Health Workforce Support and Safeguards List (consistent with the version published in 2020), with the possibility of revising the thresholds.
