Corruption has a devastating impact on health outcomes, compounding inequities and undermining finance efficiencies. Almost US$600 billion is lost from health systems each year to fraud and corruption, more than enough to close the financing gap in delivering universal health care by 2030 – a key commitment made by all United Nations member states.
USAID and Transparency International Global Health explore how tackling corruption in health systems is a necessary component in achieving Universal Health Coverage.
Speakers include:
- Rebecca Turner, Senior Advisor for the Office of Population and Reproductive Health in USAID’s Bureau of Global Health
- David Clarke, Unit Head AI, Health Systems Governance and Policy at the World Health Organization
- Dr Patty Garcia, the former Minister of Health of Peru and currently Professor of Public Health at Cayetano Heredia University
- Sheila Masinde, Executive Director at Transparency International Kenya
- Jonathan Cushing, Programme Director at Transparency International Global Health
