In this article it is described the italian situation about foreign nurses who work in Italy: where they do mainly come from and the main fields where they are employed. Moreover, it describes the shortage of nurses in the health sector in Italy. The country needs to train about 35,000 new health professionals a year, yet, its training capacity is limited especially for nurses. This shortage of nurses and other health professionals can jeopardize Italy’s ability to provide the health services its population needs. Within this context Ipasvi and Transcultural Italian nursing association adopted the Global Code of Practice (WHO) on the international recruitment of health personnel. Its objective is to ensure that the global demand for the recruitment of health personnel does not negatively affect countries with weak health systems. Hence, the ‘Manifesto for health workforce strengthening’ was born. It has been launched and signed by an Italian group of organisations active in Italy within the framework of health cooperation, public health and international migration.
