9 October 2018, 15th Global Symposium on Health Systems Research – Satellite Event, Liverpool, UK
Corruption is a matter of life and death in the health sector, impeding access, quality of care, financial protection and equity, disproportionately affecting the poor and vulnerable. Its causes are multi-faceted; they are influenced by factors within and beyond the health sector, and a top-down anti-corruption enforcement approach may not always yield the expected results. Drawing on recent work on ‘everyday governance’ in health systems and political economy approaches, we identify promising strategies and pragmatic solutions that are sensitive to social relationships, based on the work of the Anti-Corruption Evidence research consortium and other partners involved in the new WHO-facilitated work stream on “Anti-Corruption, Transparency and Accountability in the health sector”.
