| contents | Compendium on recognizing the skills of migrant workers in the health sector Effective governance of labour migration for health workers is essential for addressing global healthcare needs and ensuring sustainable health systems. While efforts to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) remain a priority, the loss of trained professionals can hinder progress. Enhancing skills recognition systems can support more effective workforce planning, contribute to well-governed migration policies, and help address some of the challenges associated with brain drain. Equally important is the reintegration of returning migrant health workers, ensuring their skills are effectively recognized and utilized. The present compendium analyses the existing modalities of qualification and skill requirements for migrant health workers as well as any obstacles and challenges faced by them, with a particular reference to women migrant workers. The analysis also focuses on the situation of medium- and highly skilled migrant health workers. It covers two countries of origin for migrant health workers (Egypt and the Philippines) and two countries of destination (Italy and Germany). The selected countries represent different national and regional contexts and have been engaged with the migration issues of health workers for a long period of time.
