Most of the countries face with the problems of uneven distribution and inadequate number of health workers. These problems become even more critical and important when accompanied with the international movement or migration of health workers. Migration of health workers may have positive or negative consequences for both source and destination countries and health workers. Therefore, managing of this mobility in creating maximum benefit in terms of parties assumes importance. To this end, in the paper, a general framework concerning the migration of health workers at the global level is put forward; mechanisms used on a global scale to manage migration are being discussed; and the size and management of migration in Turkey are assessed.
