Migration

Policy brief 1. Improving migrant services for health professionals

In managing Filipino worker migration, the Philippine government enacted laws and policies to promote and protect migrant workers' rights and welfare and ensure legal and ethical recruitment.

Diverse migrant services are provided to Filipino migrant workers, mainly by the Philippine government and also by private business, non-government organizations, and trade unions. A recent assessment study grouped these migrant services into four types: overseas information, personal financial security, social security, and welfare, competency, skills enhancement as well as return and reintegration.
