Currently Maldives Medical Council and Maldives Nursing Council do not have a list of accepted medical and nursing schools, therefore at the time of recruitment, it is difficult to be assure the quality of expatriates nurses and doctors.
(...) In order to realize this commitment, Maldives, with multistakehodler coordination and inclusive partnerships, under the overall leadership of Ministry of Health (MOH), aligned with the health system policies, and duly considering the WHO Global Code of Practice on international recruitment of health personnel, will implement the following strategies and interventions:
1- Institutionalize regulatory mechanisms for accreditation of health professionals’ education for all cadres and medical qualifications from other countries. - Develop accreditation criteria for health professions education for doctors and nurses. - Develop a list of approved Medical and Nursing institutes for recruitment of health workforce - Develop a mechanism to enroll new institutes if not endorsed by any competent global or national process.
2- Establish a licensing system for health professional’s recruitment - Develop professional standardization for doctors and nurses elucidating required competencies, knowledge and skills. - Develop and implement a Licensing Examination System to register the international medicos

It is expected that through this process and pathway, country will be able to standardize and improve quality of the physicians and nurses, which will in turn lead to sustainable solutions towards ensuring access to competent medical personnel and delivery of adequate health services in accordance with the national health needs.
