13. Project background: Why is the project taking place? Why is the need form the project?	Today over 50 countries, mainly in Africa and South Asia, suffer from a critical shortage of health personnel, while they carry a large part of the global burden of disease. In the aging societies of European countries, the number of people who need long-term care is growing, thus fuelling demand for health workers. The recruitment of health workers abroad is a way of meeting the domestic demand, but can worsen the shortage of qualified personnel in low- and middle-income countries and Europe.

During the event we discussed the applicability of the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel in the European context, marked by increased professional mobility. 80 participants attended the meeting and 5 Members of European Parliament provided their input. 2 parliamentary questions were asked as a result of this event. 175 organisations endorsed our call to action 'a health worker for all, everywhere'.
